FAQ
Is InBuild as good for blogging as Ghost?
For the blogging-first experience (clean editor, fast publishing, good typography) Ghost wins. For sites where the blog is one component alongside pricing, features, comparisons, etc., InBuild is the better fit because it generates and edits the whole site, not just the publishing surface.
Can I migrate Ghost content to InBuild?
InBuild doesn't generate a real blog for you — no post routes, archives, or RSS feed come out of the AI generation step. Export your Ghost posts as Markdown/JSON, export your InBuild project, and wire up a file-based or headless-CMS blog in the exported Next.js codebase yourself; at that point dropping in your Ghost Markdown is straightforward.
