Kyiv

Kyiv is a conversion-focused Ghost theme built for creators and businesses with a concrete offer. With its bold, service-oriented design and powerful customization options, Kyiv helps you showcase your expertise and convert visitors into subscribers and customers.

Whether you're a consultant launching a new service, a coach building your practice, or an entrepreneur showcasing your product, Kyiv prioritizes what matters most: presenting your offer clearly, building trust through social proof, and converting visitors with strategic calls-to-action. The theme's offer-first design ensures your value proposition shines while maintaining professional credibility.

Service-First Design

Kyiv is built around a single goal: helping you present your offer effectively. Every design decision supports conversion. Bold typography, strategic whitespace, and layouts that guide visitors naturally from problem to solution to action.

The homepage template is carefully structured to tell your story:

• Hero section with customizable headline, subtitle, and primary CTA
• Features section to showcase your unique approach or methodology
• About section to build trust and personal connection
• Testimonials section for social proof
• Newsletter signup to capture leads
• Blog preview to demonstrate expertise
• Bottom CTA for final conversion opportunity

All content blocks are fully customizable through Ghost's theme settings, allowing you to craft your perfect pitch without touching code.

Tag-Based Content Management

Kyiv uses Ghost's built-in tagging system to organize dynamic homepage sections, making content management intuitive and flexible.

Special Tags:

• #features - Pages tagged with this appear in the features section (ordered by slug)
• #testimonials - Pages tagged with this appear in the testimonials section (ordered by slug)

This tag-based approach means you can add, edit, or reorder features and testimonials simply by managing pages in Ghost's admin. No theme editing required. Just tag a page with #features or #testimonials and it automatically appears in the right place on your homepage.

Modern Blog Experience

Beyond the conversion-focused homepage, Kyiv includes a full-featured blog system:

Blog Archive:

• Two-column responsive grid layout
• Featured images with fallback support
• Tag display for each post
• Sidebar with featured posts, tag cloud, and newsletter signup
• Clean pagination

Single Post Layout:

• Full-width hero with feature image overlay
• Tag display (automatically filters out internal tags like #features and #testimonials)
• Author information with profile picture
• Publication date
• Typography-optimized content area using Tailwind's typography plugin
• Native Ghost comments support

Internationalization Ready

Kyiv includes 5 language translations out of the box:

• 🇬🇧 English
• 🇩🇪 German
• 🇫🇷 French
• 🇪🇸 Spanish
• 🇺🇦 Ukrainian

Adding more languages is straightforward with Ghost's built-in localization system. The theme uses Ghost's {{t}} helper throughout, making translations seamless. All user-facing strings are translatable, including form messages, button text, and navigation elements.

Membership & Newsletter Integration

Kyiv fully supports Ghost's membership features:

• Newsletter signup forms on homepage and blog sidebar
• Real-time form validation and feedback
• Loading states with animated spinners
• Success and error messages with clear visual feedback
• Automatic integration with your Ghost membership settings

When Ghost memberships are enabled, newsletter forms appear automatically. When disabled, they're hidden. No manual configuration needed.

Custom Page Templates

Kyiv includes custom page templates for additional flexibility:

• Default template - Clean page layout for standard content
• Header Accent Color template - Pages with custom accent color headers (available for both pages and posts)

These templates give you options for creating visually distinct pages while maintaining design consistency.

Typography That Shines

Kyiv integrates with Ghost's custom font settings, but also includes beautiful default fonts:

• Headings: Abril Fatface (serif) for bold, memorable headlines
• Body: Lato (sans-serif) for clean, readable content
