About

Themes and templates, from Kyle.

I’m Kyle, an independent publisher and developer based in Scotland. I run Themes By Kyle, where I make Ghost themes for publishers, Framer templates for websites and Shopify themes for online stores.

A theme should fit what you publish.

A daily newsroom, an author and a personal blogger need different things from their websites. That's why the collection includes distinct layouts, from newspaper front pages to quieter spaces for long-form writing.

I approach the work as a publisher as well as a developer. My focus is on the reading experience: how a story opens, how the type feels on a phone, and how readers find the next piece.

Each Ghost theme has a live demo and its own setup documentation. You can explore the homepage, read an article and try the reader journey before deciding which one fits your publication.

Meet the Ghost themes.

Five designs are listed in Ghost’s official theme marketplace, with six more available directly from me. Open a demo to see how each theme reads.
