About Beacon

What is Beacon?

Beacon is a premium Ghost CMS theme purpose-built for resource directories, curated listings, and content-driven communities. It transforms Ghost from a blogging platform into a powerful directory engine with card-based layouts, category browsing, hero search, and membership-gated content.

Key Features

  • Card-Based Listing Grid — Resources displayed in a scannable grid with consistent metadata, category badges, and visibility indicators
  • Hero Search — Full-width search section on the homepage that invites exploration and discovery
  • Category Browsing — Tags become navigable categories with custom descriptions and feature images
  • Featured Listings — Highlight top picks with featured badges and homepage prominence
  • Membership Gating — Free, member, and paid visibility tiers for content monetization
  • Newsletter Integration — Built-in newsletter signup for weekly resource roundups
  • Responsive Design — Optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile viewing
  • Dark Mode — Automatic dark mode support based on system preferences

Design System

Typography

Beacon uses DM Sans for headings and Inter for body text — a pairing that balances personality with readability. Both are variable fonts optimized for screen rendering across all sizes.

Color System

A teal accent color (#0d9488) anchors the design, complemented by neutral grays and clean whites. The system supports dark mode automatically, adjusting all surfaces and text for comfortable reading in any lighting condition.
