Hanoi is a premium Ghost theme for visual magazines, creative journals, and long-form editorial publishing.

For Image-Led Publications
Hanoi is made for publishers who want images to guide discovery, pacing, and story choice.
Hanoi’s homepage works like a magazine front page: a featured lead, an editorial intro, visual tag cards, latest stories, one Editor’s Pick, and a newsletter section.
Use it for design journals, interiors, photography, travel, food, music, and member-supported editorial publishing.
Navigation Previews
Hanoi turns desktop dropdowns into navigation previews.
Add links in Ghost Navigation; internal posts, pages, tags, and authors can show their image. Video stories can show a short muted preview.

The menu stays a menu: text links first, preview second. Motion helps readers understand a video story before opening it.
Stories That Change Shape
Not every article needs the same frame.
Hanoi includes the default post layout plus Hero, Fullscreen, Split, and Video post templates. Use them for essays, interviews, field notes, visual reports, portfolios, and larger features that need a cover image, split header, fullscreen lead, or dedicated media stage.

Video Inside the Story
Video in Hanoi is treated as part of the editorial flow.
Use video previews in post cards and navigation links when a short muted preview helps readers understand the story before opening it. For full video stories, the Video post template gives the media a dedicated stage, including a scroll-expanding video area for pieces where motion is central to the article.
Reading Tools That Stay Quiet
Long articles need controls that help without interrupting.
Hanoi supports voice reading, text-size controls, Ghost comments, Ghost sharing, related posts, author context, and image lightbox controls. The tools stay close to the article without competing with it.

Archives With Visual Memory
Hanoi gives older stories a clear place to live.
Use the Latest page for recent posts, the Archive page for a date-led index with image previews, custom tag and author directory pages, and native tag and author pages for focused browsing.
Preview the demo pages: Latest, Archive, Tags directory, Authors directory, Food & Drink tag, and Emma author.



Tags can also become visual entry points through homepage tag cards, tag images, and accent colors.
Responsive Editorial Design
The homepage, navigation, story layouts, media, and reader tools keep the same editorial order across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Is Hanoi Right for You?
Choose Hanoi if you want a visual Ghost publication shaped by images, video, topic browsing, and long-form reading.
Choose Taba if you need a larger news or magazine structure with heavier editorial sections, video coverage, and newsroom-style publishing.
Choose Ubud or Marsa if you want a simpler personal newsletter, author site, or blog.
Choose Hakone if typography and full-post reading are more important than visual magazine structure.
