What if you launched your own décor blog?

Following these blogs is inspiring. But perhaps the best décor project of all is to create your own — a space that's entirely yours, to document your projects, share your favourite finds and build a community.

The question isn't whether you're capable of it, but what to build it on. Many people start out on a closed platform (social media, all-in-one services) before realising they own neither their audience, nor their content, nor their design. The lasting solution: a blog you truly own, on an open-source CMS.

That's exactly the role of Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform designed for creators who want to own their audience. Elegant, fast, optimised for SEO and newsletters, Ghost is ideal for a visual, professional décor blog. To understand the tool, read Ghost CMS, what is it? then how to create a website or blog with Ghost CMS.

On the technical side, you have two options: install and maintain everything yourself (server, updates, backups) or choose a Ghost website managed by Abstract27 that takes care of everything. At Abstract27, design, build, hosting and maintenance are all included, from £25 / month in 1 language (£270/year), with a first version ready in about a week, starting with a free 30-minute call — you write, we handle the rest.
