## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Transform firefrostgaming.com from a bare landing page into the proper public face of Firefrost Gaming. Ghost CMS is the platform — our job is to build a site that tells the story, showcases the servers, and points people where they need to go.
|
||||
|
||||
Paymenter handles billing. Discord handles community. Ghost is the front door.

# Theme Spec — Ghost CMS Buildout
|
||||
|
||||
**Task:** Ghost CMS Buildout
|
||||
**Document Type:** theme-spec
|
||||
**Status:** ACTIVE
|
||||
**Last Updated:** 2026-03-10
|
||||
**Reference:** `docs/planning/design-bible.md`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Theme Approach
|
||||
|
||||
Ghost ships with several free themes. The plan is to select the closest match to our visual needs and configure it with Firefrost branding — avoiding a full custom theme build unless necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended starting theme:** Casper (Ghost's default) or Source — both support dark mode, custom colors, and hero images well.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision during build session:** Evaluate available themes against spec below. If none are close enough, we build a minimal custom theme.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Branding Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### Colors (Frost Palette — main site)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Background: #0A0A0A (Obsidian Black)
|
||||
Primary: #00E5FF (Electric Cyan — headings, active links)
|
||||
Secondary: #01579B (Deep Navy — buttons, nav)
|
||||
Text: #FFFFFF (Pure White)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Headings: Orbitron or Rajdhani (Google Fonts — geometric, high-tech)
|
||||
Body: Inter or Roboto (clean, readable)
|
||||
Code: Fira Code or JetBrains Mono
|
||||
Base size: 16px minimum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Logo
|
||||
|
||||
- Header: `firefrost-logo-dark.png` (full logo on dark background)
|
||||
- Favicon: `firefrost-emblem-512.png`
|
||||
- Never distort — maintain aspect ratio
|
||||
|
||||
### Hero Image
|
||||
|
||||
- `fire-frost-collision.png` (2560x1259)
|
||||
- Used as homepage hero background
|
||||
- Overlay text in white with Electric Cyan accent
|
||||
|
||||
### Character Assets
|
||||
|
||||
- `founders/frostystyle-gingerfury.png` — founders section on homepage and about page
|
||||
- `character-sprites/frosty.jpg` — The Wizard profile
|
||||
- `character-sprites/gingerfury.jpg` — The Emissary profile
|
||||

## Notes for Build Session
|
||||
|
||||
- Check what themes are available in the Ghost admin before deciding
|
||||
- Casper supports `{{accent_color}}` which maps directly to our #00E5FF
|
||||
- Custom CSS injection is available in Ghost admin (Settings → Code injection) — use this for font loading and any overrides before committing to a full custom theme
|
||||
- Mobile responsiveness must be tested before marking complete
