To build a custom homepage on Ghost CMS, follow the steps given below:

• Open your Ghost Admin page
• Create a new page
• Design it as needed
• Set the URL slug for the page
• Navigate to Settings > Design > Advanced > Routes

To build a custom homepage in Ghost CMS, follow the steps given below: 

Navigate to your Ghost theme folder.

Create a new file for your custom homepage template. For example, create a file named

custom-homepage.hbs

inside the

/content/themes/your-theme/

directory

Inside the

custom-homepage.hbs

, add the HTML and Ghost Handlebars code to structure your page. You can customize the layout as you want.

Here’s a basic example of what your

custom-homepage.hbs

file might look like:

Go to Ghost Admin  

Create a new page and save it 

Under Settings > Design, set this newly created page as the home page by selecting it from the Homepage dropdown

While editing the Homepage page in Ghost Admin, select the

custom-homepage.hbs

template from the Template dropdown in the page settings

Restart your Ghost installation to apply the new template

Visit your site to see the newly customized homepage.

To disable memberships on your Ghost CMS site, follow the steps given below:

• Open your Ghost account
• Navigate to Settings
• Click on Membership
• Choose the ‘Access’ option
• Set the 'Subscription access' to 'Nobody'

You can use Zapier to integrate your Ghost site to email services like ConvertKit or Mailgun so that when a new user signs up, a welcome email is immediately delivered to them in Ghost CMS.

You cannot directly view a list of the email addresses of unconfirmed members as Ghost CMS uses a double opt-in system.
