Why Ghost
We build every site on Ghost, an open-source platform
Ghost is free, open-source software (MIT licence) maintained by a non-profit foundation and used by independent publishers worldwide. We know it inside out: it is the only platform we build on.
Open source: you own your site
No proprietary page builder, no licence fees. Your content, pages and subscriber list can be exported at any time and moved to any host.
Newsletter and members built in
Send newsletters, offer free or paid memberships and collect subscribers without bolting on extra tools or plugins.
Fast, secure, search-friendly
A modern, lightweight code base with no plugin sprawl: quick pages, clean SEO and far fewer security holes than a typical WordPress site.
Specialists, not generalists
We design themes, migrate sites from WordPress, Wix or Squarespace, and run Ghost in production every day. You get people who know the platform in depth.

What our clients say about working with Abstract27: websites designed, built and run for them.
I contacted Jérémie and Abstrat27 to create the website for my financial education platform. I had a specific set of requirements: to translate the brand strategy and graphic charter developed beforehand, to secure the content, especially the paid courses, while retaining full ownership of my content, and above all, to have a user-friendly website that I…

We used Abstrat27 to set up our website using Ghost and couldn't be happier. Jérémie really listened to what we needed, understood our vision and came up with great advice. From start to full migration, everything was handled efficiently. We love how easy it is to manage the website by ourselves now, which was exactly what we wanted. On top of that, Jérémie…

I’d been using WordPress for years, but wanted something lighter and more modern. Jeremie handled the entire migration to Ghost, and honestly, he did an outstanding job. Everything went smoothly from start to finish — he was professional, responsive, and really listened to what I needed. I’m genuinely happy with the result. Ghost is a fantastic platform —…

Pierre S. · ★★★★★ · June 2024 · Google review
I wish I could give more than 5 stars, because the website Abstract27 made for me definitely is something else. I didn't know Ghost CMS at first and I was a bit skeptical. But I decided to take the leap of faith and oh boy was I positively surprised. Everything was done for me and the team even helped me customize the website. I've created dozens of…

I had been hosting my website on blogger and had been wanting to migrate to a fast, modern and mobile friendly platform for a while. Jérémie managed to convince me to make the move and I’m very happy he did. The result is stunning, SEO friendly and easy to maintain. And on top of that the ongoing hosting fees are very reasonable (actually cheaper than on…

A London web design agency for organisations that want a site that simply works
Most small organisations do not need a big agency project — they need a professional website that is online quickly, looks right, is easy to update and never breaks. That is what we do. Abstract27 designs and builds your site, then hosts and maintains it for a fixed monthly price, so you never have to think about plugins, updates or hosting bills.
We work mostly with associations and charities, law firms and professional practices, independent media and journalists, health professionals and small businesses — in English, French or both.
Built on open-source Ghost, so you stay in control
Every site runs on Ghost, the open-source platform used by independent publishers. It is fast, secure and comes with a built-in newsletter and memberships, so you can write to your audience without paying for a separate email tool. Your content is yours and can be exported at any time.
