Morrow Works is an expressive Ghost theme for creative studios, independent designers, agencies, photographers, architects, and artists who want their work to make an immediate impression.
Built around strong typography, visible structural grids, generous imagery, and unexpected colour, Morrow Works turns a standard portfolio into a distinctive digital publication. It brings projects, studio stories, and editorial content together without forcing you to manage a separate portfolio system.
Everything is powered by Ghost, so publishing a new project is as straightforward as publishing a post.
A portfolio that feels designed
Morrow Works avoids the predictable layouts found in most portfolio themes. Its bold editorial direction gives each project room to establish its own identity while keeping the wider website visually consistent.
The permanent column grid, oversized typography, project colours, subtle motion, and carefully controlled spacing create a site that feels experimental without becoming difficult to use.
It is a strong fit for:
- Creative studios
- Design and branding agencies
- Independent designers
- Art directors
- Architects and interior studios
- Photographers and filmmakers
- Artists and illustrators
- Creative collectives
- Portfolio-led publications
Three ways to present your work
Choose the homepage composition that best fits your studio.
Exhibition
A bold, art-directed layout that presents projects as a digital exhibition. Ideal for studios that want every visit to feel visual and immersive.
Editorial Index
A compact, numbered presentation inspired by editorial indexes and printed catalogues. Best for studios with a large body of work or a more typographic identity.
Project Grid
A flexible three-column image grid that gives visitors a fast, visual overview of your portfolio.
All three options use your Ghost content automatically. You can change the layout from Ghost Admin without rebuilding your homepage or duplicating projects.
Project pages with their own identity
Projects use a dedicated portfolio template with space for strong imagery, detailed descriptions, credits, categories, and supporting editorial content.
Each project can also have its own background colour. Add a private colour tag such as #color-2457FF, and Morrow Works will apply it to that project automatically.
The foreground colour is calculated from the selected background, keeping titles, metadata, links, and controls readable. If no custom colour is provided, the theme uses its original curated palette.
Publishing and portfolio in one place
Morrow Works is not limited to project showcases. Its integrated Journal gives you a complete editorial space for sharing:
- Studio news
- Design processes
- Case studies
- Research
- Essays
- Behind-the-scenes stories
- Announcements
- Members-only writing
Journal posts support multiple visual treatments, including Editorial, Split, and Immersive templates. Public tags link to their native Ghost archive pages, making it easy for visitors to explore related subjects.
Built around Ghost’s native features
Morrow Works works with Ghost rather than placing another content system on top of it.
The theme supports:
- Native Ghost search
- Free and paid memberships
- Member sign-in and account management
- Members-only and paid content
- Native comments
- Recommendations
- Newsletter subscriptions
- Ghost Portal
- Primary and secondary navigation
- Author profiles
- Tag archives
- Related articles
- Featured posts
- Pagination
- Social sharing
- Responsive images
- Feature-image captions
- Private-publication screens
- Error and 404 pages
- SEO metadata, Open Graph, structured data, and RSS
Membership prompts and restricted-content states are styled to feel like part of Morrow Works rather than generic additions.
Designed for the Ghost editor
Create rich project pages and articles using the editor you already know.
Morrow Works includes styling for Ghost’s native editor cards, including:
- Images
- Galleries
- Videos
- Audio
- Files
- Buttons
- Callouts
- Toggles
- Bookmarks
- Products
- Headers
- Quotes
- Embeds
- Signup cards
- Email-only content
- Public previews
The included Style Guide makes it easier to preview these elements before publishing your own content.
A ticker you can make your own
Add a short announcement, studio message, availability notice, or campaign statement using the homepage ticker.
Enter the ticker text in Ghost Admin and it appears automatically. Leave the field empty and the ticker stays hidden.
You can also select its background colour. Morrow Works chooses an appropriate light or dark foreground colour automatically, while the original acid-green treatment remains the default.
A structural grid that never disappears
The visible grid is a defining part of the Morrow Works design.
It remains present throughout the website rather than appearing only on selected homepage sections:
- 12-column grid on desktop
- Six-column grid on mobile
- Adapted contrast for light and dark sections
- Compatible with default and custom project colours
The result is a consistent visual system across projects, articles, archives, pages, membership states, and error screens.
Multilingual and translation-ready
English is included as the default language, and all fixed interface copy uses Ghost’s native translation system.
Customers can translate buttons, labels, messages, accessibility text, membership prompts, and empty states by adding a locale file such as:
locales/de.jsonlocales/fr.jsonlocales/es.jsonlocales/bn.json
A clear translation guide is included with the theme, so another language can be added without editing individual templates.
Responsive by design
Morrow Works adapts its layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile while preserving the character of the original design.
Typography, grids, project cards, navigation, galleries, related posts, membership prompts, and editor content are all adjusted for smaller screens. Keyboard navigation, visible focus states, reduced-motion preferences, and readable colour contrast are considered throughout the theme.
Easy to set up and customize
Most of the theme can be configured directly from Ghost Admin.
You can control:
- Homepage layout
- Featured projects
- Project colours

- Site appearance
- Navigation
