Dusk - Astro event theme for BCMS
Premium
What Phanatik gives you
Phanatik is a paid Astro theme built for editorial publishing - independent newsrooms, indie magazines, paywalled newsletters, and podcast hubs. The design comes from Lexington Themes, and the project ships pre-wired to BCMS so your team can publish articles, manage authors, and ship podcast episodes without wiring up a custom backend.
It is the version of an editorial site you would normally pay an agency to build: confident typography, opinionated layouts, and a content model that already understands articles, sections, authors, and episodes.
Who it is for
Independent newsrooms and indie magazines that need an editorial-grade design without commissioning custom work.
Paywalled publications with metered or member-only articles, ready for gating logic on top.
Podcasters and audio shows that want a real home for episodes, transcripts and show notes - not just a feed.
Multi-author teams with writer profiles, bylines, and per-author archive pages out of the box.
Highlights
Editorial typography - oversized headlines, drop caps, byline blocks, and section navigation that read like a real publication.
Paywall-ready structure - article gating slots, teaser/full-article variants, and member-only routes baked in.
Podcast pages - episode lists, single episode pages, audio embed slot, and show notes layout.
Author profiles - per-author pages with bio, social and an archive of their work, modeled in BCMS.
SEO out of the box - meta tags, OpenGraph, sitemap and structured data sourced from your BCMS content.
How Phanatik works with BCMS
All editorial data - articles, sections, authors, episodes and media - lives in your BCMS instance. Phanatik consumes it through the BCMS client, so editors stay inside one familiar UI and developers do not write a CMS layer from scratch.
Need different content models, multilingual articles, or a custom editorial workflow? BCMS templates and statuses are designed for that - see the Astro integration docs to extend the model after install.
