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?

Export your Ghost posts as Markdown/JSON, then drop them into InBuild's blog content directory. The InBuild blog page renders Markdown directly, so the migration is largely copy-paste.
