Customization Options
Gazet gives you full control over the look and feel of your site with intuitive customization options. Adjust colors, typography, and layout styles to match your brand identity. Whether you prefer a clean, minimal aesthetic or a bold, visually striking design, Gazet makes it easy to adapt without coding, so your publication stands out while maintaining editorial consistency.
Beyond aesthetics, Gazet includes deep layout flexibility. The homepage is fully configurable, allowing you to choose how the hero section displays posts (dynamic or fixed layouts for 1–6 stories), organize topic sections in various grid styles, and toggle optional blocks for podcasts, newsletters, writers, and events. This means you can build a front page that’s as minimal or feature-rich as you want.
Individual post settings offer the same attention to detail. Pick from multiple default post templates—regular image, wide, fullwidth, no image, or with a sidebar—control title alignment, and even enable elegant drop caps for the first paragraph. Combined with membership options, subscribe CTAs, and Ghost Portal integration, Gazet makes customization simple yet powerful for modern publishers.
Gazet is more than a theme—it’s a complete editorial solution for publishers, newsrooms, and content creators who want speed, flexibility, and design excellence. Take your publication to the next level.
