Changes to Website Building with the Advent of Blocks

Back in the day, we were pretty excited to productize the original Mai Theme platform. 

Remember the sections template? That was a cool way to stop using widgets on a homepage area.

Then there was talk of change in WordPress. Matt Mullenweg told everyone at a WordCamp conference to “learn JavaScript” because he saw a future for WordPress using blocks.

We were intrigued when the Gutenberg plugin was created. Blocks were not a part of core WordPress when they were first introduced.

We tried Gutenberg, installed several block plugins to test, and struggled to create any type of consistency.

Blocks weren’t as easy as everyone claimed.

However, over the past two years, blocks have advanced significantly and introduced a whole new paradigm for page building with WordPress.

With full-site-editing on the horizon for WordPress, how we think of building and working with websites is changing once again.

Staying on top of those changes though, well, it can be tough. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that.

Now Get All Website Templates with Mai Theme

We at BizBudding have your back.

We combined all of our individual Mai Theme designs into one Mai Theme package. You now get access to all of our website templates with Mai Theme.

All of our starter site designs leverage the WordPress block editor to put website owners like you in control of your website.

Mai Theme and our starter sites include comprehensive customization options that let you customize nearly every aspect of your website down to the most minute detail—without ever touching a line of code or installing a clunky page builder.

But that’s not all…

The Stuff Dream Websites Are Made Of

BizBudding’s goal has always been to help content creators, digital marketers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses create sites they love and launch them fast. And now it’s getting even easier.

No more spending hours learning a third-party page builder and losing valuable time tweaking settings just to get a slow-loading website.

No more installing multiple block plugins to get the layout you want and then wasting hours trying to customize every block.

Say goodbye to theme purchase regret, limits, and constraints…and say hello to creating the website of your dreams with Mai Theme and the Mai Design Pack.

With Mai Theme you get every website template and starter site and you can use them on as many sites as you want.

You can create beautiful, complex page layouts that are as unique as you are.

Mai Design Pack

When you’re ready to take things a bit further, check out the Mai Design Pack.

The Mai Design Pack is for site owners already using Mai Theme.

It includes all of the premium plugins BizBudding has developed over the years to enhance the design, features, and functionality for our private clients’ websites. They’re the same plugins that power top sites like Wellness Mama and The Paleo Mom.

Mai Pattern Library

Mai Design Pack also includes access to our brand new Mai Pattern Library.

I think you’ll find the pattern library to be super cool.

Each element on a website is a block—a headline, a paragraph, or a button.

Blocks are combined into a pattern—for example, a headline with paragraphs and a button for a call-to-action.

The pattern can be copied and pasted into any page of your Mai Theme powered website. Even cooler: it will automatically match the font styles and colors of your website. No more wrangling CSS on patterns to get things to look nice.

With the new Mai Pattern Library, you don’t even need to create the patterns yourself. All of the starter site home pages plus tons of really cool designs for testimonials, calls-to-action, pricing tables, and so much more are all available to you in the pattern library. 

The Mai Pattern Library also includes patterns designed by Rafal Tomal in his Design Kit for Figma.

Website Building Revolutionized

All of this means that you can pick and choose your favorite bits of every website design Mai Theme has to offer and simply copy and paste them into your website. It’s seriously that easy! 

The best part is that everything works together flawlessly.
