Ghost is a powerful app for professional publishers to create, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters, and offer paid subscriptions to members.
NEC's view
Ghost is the CMS we publish on, and we recommend it without hesitation. While most of the web still runs on WordPress, which to us feels clunky and outdated, Ghost is clean, modern, and built with creators in mind. The interface is intuitive, the writing and publishing experience is a pleasure, and the team is continuously developing the product with real input from its community.
The ecosystem has grown quickly. There is now a wide range of themes to choose from, a strong developer community, and regular feature releases that make Ghost feel like it is moving forward rather than standing still. With the launch of Ghost 6.0, the platform has also connected directly to the open social web, allowing publications to link into a broader network while keeping full ownership of their content. Built-in analytics make it easier to understand readership without the need for heavy third-party tools.
For us, Ghost is more than just a CMS. It is a platform that aligns with our values: independent publishing, reader-first design, and a creator-centered ecosystem. If you are starting a publication today, we think Ghost is one of the best choices you can make.
