Is it Possible to Use the "Vivid Anime & Movies Streaming Entertainment Hub" HTML Template on Ghost?

Themes

Hi Ghost Community,

I recently came across this HTML-based website template:
Vivid Anime & Movies Streaming Entertainment Hub.

The design perfectly suits my needs for an anime and movie streaming website. However, after extensive research, I couldn’t find clear information on whether it’s possible to integrate such an HTML-based template into the Ghost platform.

Given Ghost’s flexibility with themes, I’m wondering if there’s a way to adapt this template for Ghost or if there are additional steps/tools required to make it work.

If anyone has experience with similar setups or insights into this, I’d highly appreciate your guidance. The currently available themes seem somewhat basic and don’t fully meet the requirements for a modern streaming site.

Thanks in advance! :blush:

You certainly could adapt an html template for Ghost. Handlebars (the templating language Ghost uses) writes out html, and it looks a lot like HTML with extra {{helpers}}. BUT… this is not going to be a plug and play thing. You’d need to do significant work, and it isn’t clear for that particular template exactly how you’d get it to play video. (It isn’t even clear from the Q&A that it really supports playing video without work. Looks like it mostly looks pretty, without any back-end logic.)

The Ghost docs about theme development would be a good place to start.
