@marcomiduri I evaluated various CMS platforms and chose Ghost mainly because of two things: the admin UI is the most featured and usable for a non-technical person. Reducing friction for people in our newsroom is very important. Second, Ghost has a good set of integrations and documents around that. I can go to zapier or integromat as a last resort, and Ghost CMS can be used there. I looked up Sanity and deployed a blog starter theme to netlify. I wasn't impressed. A big advantage of Ghost is that we can have a professional looking theme with good ux without putting too much money upfront on custom theming. I like that Sanity has revision history, but it's only available in their Enterprise level plan. Ghost is free. Their "content lake" sounds nice but it seems like something that can be done with other CMS's using graphql. Can you tell me what CMS solution you think is best for us and why? Am I wrong to think that another CMS would need a lot of custom theming work to get started?
