Ghost is an online publishing and content management system for writers, editors and publishers. Fully open-source and administered by a non-profit foundation, it's used by everyone from bloggers to professional journalists. If you're creating content on the internet, this could be the platform for you.

From simple to complex

Within its simple, minimalist interface, Ghost hides a powerful and varied publication platform. You can use it to edit content in a side-by-side format, with the right pane showing how the blog post or article will display on screen. You can search through old articles with handy tags, organise teams to collaborate, and create editorial calendars to schedule posts in advance. You can use this platform either through a web-based interface or via a desktop app. Because it is open-source, a wide range of themes are available from its store. You can also develop your own themes or integrations with other apps. A range of different pricing plans offer support for different levels of readership, with additional support and data storage available at higher price points.

A powerful publishing platform

No matter what you're publishing, Ghost can be a powerful tool to create and manage content. If you don't use all of its different management and collaboration features, it may be too much of an investment, but if you think you will, it's well worth the price.
