About this gig
Get a blazing-fast, modern home for your publication.
WordPress is bloated, and Substack takes a massive cut of your revenue. If you want 100% control over your audience, Ghost CMS is the ultimate platform for independent creators, journalists, and media brands. I am here to handle the entire technical setup so you can focus on writing.
I specialize in Ghost CMS website creation, bespoke theme customization (using Handlebars.js) and setting up seamless email delivery pipelines. Whether you are launching a brand-new Ghost blog or looking to migrate your existing content from WordPress, Medium, or Substack without losing your SEO ranking, I've got you covered.
What I will do for you:
- Full Ghost Setup: Installation on Ghost(Pro) or self-hosted servers (DigitalOcean/AWS).
- Theme Customization: Tailoring your layout, fonts, and branding to look unique.
- Newsletter Integration: Setting up Mailgun or native Ghost email configurations.
- Membership Systems: Configuring Stripe so you can accept paid subscriptions.
- Bug Fixing & Speed Optimization: Fixing broken templates and tweaking core web vitals.
Lets build a powerful, plugin-free website that handles your blog & newsletter effortlessly.

FAQ
Do you work with self-hosted Ghost CMS setups?
Yes. I can set up your publication directly on official Ghost(Pro) hosting, or deploy it self-hosted via Docker/Ubuntu on cloud servers like DigitalOcean, Linode, or AWS to keep your monthly costs down.
Can you customize an existing premium Ghost theme?
Absolutely. If you bought a premium zip file from a marketplace, I will tweak the code, injection assets, and custom settings to align perfectly with your brand identity and typography.
How do you configure the Ghost newsletter feature?
Ghost uses Mailgun on the backend to broadcast thousands of emails reliably. I will configure your DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) so your newsletters land straight in your subscribers' inboxes, not the spam folder.
Can you safely clone or migrate my existing website?
Yes. I can take your current layout or data from Substack, WordPress, or Medium and migrate all content, tags, media, and subscribers into your new Ghost blog with zero downtime or lost SEO rankings.
Do I need an external newsletter service like Mailchimp?
No! Ghost has a brilliant native newsletter tool built directly into its core. I will configure Mailgun on your backend so you can broadcast emails directly from your dashboard to thousands of readers.
What files do I need to provide for theme customization?
If you have a premium theme file (.zip) purchased from a marketplace, just send it over! If not, I can customize Ghost’s default theme to match your business typography and colors.
