Fantasma: visual Ghost theme builder

Marketplace
1

Hey everyone,

We’ve been building Fantasma, a visual Ghost theme builder in the style of Source. Pick templates, add sections, tweak spacing, colors, and fonts, and preview as you go. No coding required.

When the theme is ready, publish straight to your Ghost site in one step, or download a ZIP and install it yourself. You get normal theme files (Handlebars, assets, the works). Edit them for your own sites or hand them off for client work.

Short walkthrough (~1 min):

What is in the builder

  • Templates: Home, post, page, tag, author, and error templates, plus custom templates

  • Sections: heroes, feeds, FAQs, stats, CTAs, author/tag blocks, recommendations

  • Layouts for shared nav and footer

  • Page presets: About, Contact, Authors, Tags, collection lists, tagged variants

  • Color schemes with per-section overrides, plus custom palettes

  • Live preview with your site’s posts, tags, and authors

  • One-click theme publish to Ghost

  • Media library for theme images

  • Table of contents, dropdown nav, recommendations, dark mode, featured video, syntax highlighting, image lightbox, Ghost share button, and more

  • Clean exports: Tailwind trimmed to what the theme uses; strings in en.json like a conventional theme

Changelog: https://www.fantasma.io/changelog/

Free and Pro

Free: theme builder, large preset library, theme ZIP download. Works without an account; projects save locally until you sign in for cloud sync.

Pro: one-click publish, live site preview, custom templates and color schemes, more cloud projects, media in exports, white-label output, and a few extra theme options. Details: https://www.fantasma.io/pricing

What’s next

We want Fantasma to grow into a broader visual Ghost theme builder, with more layout and visual variety beyond the Source look. That takes time and depends on how people use it today.
