Press
A newspaper with craft: nameplate, ruled sections and a dense front page.

Your publication, your way.
Xpresiva is one theme and three newspapers in one. Here's what it can do and how to set it up —in minutes, no code. Best of all: everything explained here you can see live in the demos.
One base, three faces
Pick an edition and the whole site changes.
A single setting rewrites the header, front page, cards, type and even the member card. Try them live:
Magazine
An issue: large imagery, colour and room to breathe, with a featured cover.
See the Magazine demo →Blog
Intimate and reading-focused: a single column and careful type.
See the Blog demo →Getting started
A few minutes, no code.
Upload the theme
In Ghost: Settings → Design → Change theme → Upload, choose the .zip and activate.
Upload routes.yaml
Included with the theme. Settings → Labs → Routes. With it, /pricing and /account work with no content to create.
Pick edition and colour
In Theme settings: edition (Press/Magazine/Blog) and your accent colour. The whole site adapts.
Wire your menu
Point navigation at your sections and start publishing. Every purchase ships README + INSTALL with the detail.
Your way, no impositions
Your brand, no code.
A score of settings —colour, type, light/dark, covers, header…— summed up here in the essentials:
Accent colour
One colour drives buttons, links and accents across the site. Your palette in a click.
Typography
Four pairings (elegant serif, modern sans, mixed) to find your voice.
Light, dark or auto
Colour mode of your choice; auto follows each reader's system preference.
Covers and imagery
Full-bleed, wide or standard feature image; optional drop cap to open the text.
Strapline and header
A line under the title, logo placement, and front-page layout (featured, grid or list).
Accessibility built in
An accessibility panel and share buttons with no tracking or third parties. Privacy by default.
Subscriptions
Charge for reading, with your own face.
Connect Stripe and create your tiers in Ghost. Xpresiva gives you a pricing page that reads your real tiers and a designed member dashboard, different in each edition. Nothing to lay out.
Touches that show
Every piece, just right.
Historical dates
For archival or period pieces: hide the modern date with a tag and tell the date of the event instead.
Tracking-free sharing
Privacy-first share buttons, with the networks you choose (X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Nostr, email…).
Author page
A profile with avatar, bio, location, socials and that author's feed.
Reading time
Optional, computed for you. A small touch readers appreciate.
Comments
Native Ghost comments for your community, whenever you want them.
Built-in search
Instant search across the whole site, no plugins or third parties.
