About Atelier

Getting set up

- Images: Atelier crops card and cover images to portrait shapes (4:5 and 3:4). Upright photos look best.
- Navigation: keep the main menu to five short items so it fits beside the centred logo.

- Import the sample content if you want to start from the demo and replace it with your own posts.

Requirements
A Ghost 6 site: Ghost(Pro) on a plan that allows custom themes, or self-hosted Ghost. Memberships and paid tiers use Ghost's own members feature and its Stripe connection; the theme adds the pages and the paywall design. Demo photos are not included in the download.
