From Creator's Spark to Frictionless Publishing
I'm Jannis, and I built Magic Pages because I believe technical complexity shouldn't dim a great idea. My journey with Ghost led me to create the hosting I always wished for — one that turns setup headaches into a seamless experience, so you can focus on your vision.
The Spark, The Struggle, The Solution
Every publisher starts with an idea. My journey was about finding a way to keep that creative spark alive by removing the technical hurdles.
Discovering Ghost
My own creative spark flickered in 2018 when I discovered Ghost. Its beautiful design, focus on publishing, and open-source spirit instantly resonated. I saw the potential for something amazing.
Launching Magic Pages
But then came the friction — the hosting challenges that many creators face. That's why in 2023, I launched Magic Pages: to build the seamless, supportive hosting I wished for, where robust tech meets a human touch.
Growing Together
Today, Magic Pages empowers over 600+ publishers. The 'magic' isn't just a smooth platform; it's seeing creators thrive. That's why I invest 5% of revenue back into the Ghost Foundation and continually craft features that let your best work shine.
Empowering the Ecosystem I Believe In
Giving back is core to Magic Pages. These open-source tools are my contributions to making Ghost even more powerful for every publisher.
