Hanoi Showcase

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

Explore the demo or read the documentation.

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.

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.

What Hanoi Includes

I usually reply within one business day (Mon–Fri).

What if I need help with a Ghost issue?

Ghost issues and questions are best addressed by contacting Ghost Support ↗ directly or using the Ghost Forum.

How long does theme support last?

Each purchase includes six months of support. You can extend this to 12 months for an additional fee at checkout.

What happens after the support period ends? Will I still be able to use the theme?

Yes. You can continue using the theme and receiving available updates after support expires. Renew your support if you need help with theme functionality, configuration, or bugs.

How can I renew my support?

You can renew your support for six months ($29) or twelve months ($49).

Can I try a theme before I purchase it?

You cannot download a theme before purchasing it, but you can explore its live demo. Purchases are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

You may request a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Before the refund is issued, you must uninstall the theme and stop using it. Read the Terms for the complete refund conditions.

Can I use a single theme license on more than one website?

No. A single-theme license covers one Ghost website. Choose the Themes Bundle if you need to use Aspire Themes on multiple websites.

How can I reach you?

Send me a message through the contact page.

What does ‘free updates’ mean?

You will receive free updates for any theme issue fixes, improvements, new features, and compatibility upgrades for the Ghost CMS.

How often do you update your Ghost themes?

Update schedules vary by theme. I release updates for compatibility, fixes, and improvements as needed.

How do I know when a new update is available?

When an update is released, I send an email with a link to download the new version.

I lost the theme download link. How can I find it?

The download link is in your purchase receipt email and the update email. If that’s missing, please send me the email address used to purchase the theme and I will resend it. If you bought the theme from ThemeForest, you can download it from your account’s Downloads page.

How do I apply the new theme update to my current theme?

The theme’s changelog lists the files added, changed, or removed in each release.

Can I modify and customize the themes?

Yes, you are free to customize any theme as much as you like.

Do I need to know how to code to use your theme?

No coding is required to install the theme. Coding is only needed if you want to customize or extend the theme beyond the current features. Some features require configuration, and everything is explained in the online documentation. Also, there is a video with tips and recommended tools for editing theme files.

Are you available for theme customizations?

I'm not available for paid custom work or theme customizations.

Do the Ghost themes come with the raw HTML files?

No. The themes use Handlebars as the default Ghost template language.

Which Ghost Pro plan will I need to support your themes?

Ghost(Pro)’s Starter plan does not support custom theme installation. Choose a plan that includes custom themes and confirm the current options on Ghost’s pricing page.

I finally caved and bought @aspirethemes's bundle. It's either that or keep paying 149 dollars every time I see a theme I like - which is all of them. Good job!

My new website/newsletter is in @Ghost using the excellent Ubud theme from @aspirethemes. Had some very generous support from them too as I wanted to do a little tweaking. 🙌

I have used two different Aspire themes since I moved to Ghost. I have found the themes to be well designed, well built, and technically solid. They have features I have not found in other themes I have looked at. Even better, Ahmed Ajmi, the author of the themes, is both professional and responsive — a rare combination in the theme world. I recommend Aspire Themes and their author to anyone looking to either get started with Ghost, or take their Ghost site to the next level.

I just bought the whole theme bundle from Ahmed this morning. That includes that theme. I am currently redoing my German blog using the Nubia theme and love it.

This is why I love the @Ghost community. I struggled to build a fadeout so a nice guy in the forum helped me. Then theme designer @ahmadajmi joined in. Next he releases it to all users with a (unnecessary but lovely) shoutout. This is what the Internet used to feel like.
