Ghost Themes with Multiple Homepage Layouts

Your homepage is the front door to your publication — and first impressions matter. Most Ghost themes lock you into a single homepage design, but the best themes give you the freedom to experiment with different layouts until you find the one that resonates with your audience. Whether you prefer a bold, magazine-style grid or a clean, minimal header, the right hero layout sets the tone for your entire site.

Our themes with multiple homepage layouts let you switch between professionally designed hero sections directly from Ghost's admin panel. No code editing, no template files to modify, no developer needed. Just pick a layout, save your settings, and your homepage transforms instantly. Each layout is optimized for different content strategies — from spotlighting a single featured article to showcasing a curated grid of your best posts.

Both Luno and Nio offer extensive homepage customization with different approaches. Luno provides 6 complete hero layout variations that change the entire homepage structure, while Nio offers 5 hero alignment options that let you fine-tune the visual weight and positioning of your header section. Compare the options below to find the best fit for your publication's design vision.

Homepage Layout FAQ

How do I switch between homepage layouts?
Switching layouts is done entirely through Ghost's admin panel — no code editing required. Navigate to Settings > Design in your Ghost admin, and you'll find a dropdown or selector for homepage layout options. Each theme provides clear labels and previews for their available layouts, so you can experiment with different looks and publish changes instantly.
Can I customize the hero section beyond the preset layouts?
Yes. Beyond the preset layout options, you can customize colors, typography, and spacing through Ghost's design settings. Both Luno and Nio support dark mode that applies to hero sections automatically. For deeper customization, you can inject custom CSS through Ghost's code injection feature to fine-tune any element of the hero section.
Do the homepage layouts work well on mobile devices?
Absolutely. Every hero layout in both themes is fully responsive, adapting gracefully from desktop to tablet to mobile screens. Grid layouts automatically reflow to single-column on small screens, images resize proportionally, and typography scales down for readability. We test all layouts across devices to ensure a polished experience everywhere.
Which theme should I choose for maximum homepage flexibility?
If homepage customization is your top priority, Luno offers the most options with 6 hero layouts and 6 post templates. It's ideal for publications that want to frequently refresh their look or test different presentation styles. Nio offers 5 hero alignments with a focus on alignment and visual weight, making it perfect for publications that want a distinctive, refined homepage design.
