Mai Theme Simplifies Creating a WordPress Website
Trusted by over 10,000+ Websites
Mai Theme provides a powerful, flexible, customizable foundation based upon WordPress and Gutenberg that delivers the features and options you need—even those you don’t know you need yet!
WordPress Is Changing Fast
Gutenberg blocks are both easy, and overwhelming, to use. With so many block libraries and block plugins, how do you know which ones to use? Will it work right the first time? Will it match the style of your website?
The Need for Cohesion
You can do more with WordPress with Gutenberg. But the barrier to entry has gone up.
We are sure you experienced this: you copied and pasted a free block from a library on the Internet into your theme only to find the design went haywire.
Worse yet, you now have to repeat that process for every blog archive, testimonial, portfolio product, or display ad that you want to add to your site. The lack of cohesion and functionality isn’t limited to this example, it is probably happening with every aspect of your website.
When you buy other products or try to combine free elements, it’s on you to figure it out and that can take hours. When you choose Mai Theme, everything just works together.
Mai Theme Combines Design and Functionality
Mai Theme is the base structure for all our website templates, layouts, patterns, and blocks. Mai Theme includes our Homepage Pattern Library.
Mai Theme simplifies and extends the power of Gutenberg by providing powerful blocks, layouts, and patterns that empower you to create unique, interesting page layouts, and one-of-a-kind websites from our website templates and block pattern library.
Trusted by 10,000+ Users
More than 10,000 websites have used our themes, including dozens of sites we custom-built with Mai Theme ranging from 100,000 to 100,000,000+ monthly pageviews. You can count on Mai Theme to be the WordPress platform to grow your brand on.

Mai Engine
Mai Engine is our WordPress plugin that adds extensive customization options and features to individual blocks, patterns, and layouts within a template.

Mai Theme
Mai Theme is our global website template that is built on top of (and bundled with) our powerful Mai Engine Plugin.
Because Mai Theme is used as the base structure for all of our starter site designs, the blocks, patterns, and layouts in each template are interchangeable and patterns from our pattern library can be dropped in without requiring extensive customizations.
Think of Mai Theme as the framing, plumbing, and electrical parts of a house.
Mai Starter Sites
Mai Starter Sites are complete website templates with a unique website design. Starter Sites are built on top of (and bundled with) Mai Theme.
Our website templates are called starter sites because they include everything needed to start a new website or give an existing website a bold new design. In a few clicks, create a site just like the demo complete with sample content!

Retina-Ready, Mobile Responsive
Building a successful digital brand, growing an audience, and reaching your goals, means your site needs to look amazing and be easy to use on every browser and on every device regardless of size or type.

I highly recommend it! and count on Mai for Wellness Mama.”

Terminology for Consistency and Clarity with Gutenberg and Mai Theme
Let’s face it, WordPress lingo can get pretty confusing. This is especially true since the introduction of Gutenberg. We designed Mai Theme with these terms in mind. Here’s how they apply to Gutenberg and Mai Theme.
Blocks
Blocks are the smallest, individual content elements that can be added to the editor screen to position content and create pages on a website.
Each item added to a page or post is a content block: a headline, subheadline, paragraph, bullet list, video, quote, number list, image gallery, audio element, button, list of posts, and more.
Blocks can be static content (like an image) or dynamic (like a list of posts that changes). They can also be used in any order and any configuration to create unique designs.
Sections
Sections are groups of blocks combined to create predefined content areas that serve specific purposes. Think of a section as a row (or content area) of content on a page and everything within that section that creates the design.
Examples are a testimonial section, call to action section, hero section, featured posts section, three columns section, form section, or team members section.
Layouts
Layouts are groups of patterns and/or blocks combined to create and design a template for an entire page or post.
A predefined page layout—like a home page layout, sales page layout, webinar registration page layout, or about page layout—gives you a beautifully designed and well-thought-out page template to start from so creating new, unique pages and posts is fast and easy.
When full site editing (FSE) in Gutenberg is adopted, layouts will include the header, footer, and global or repeating block areas, like sidebars.
Templates
Templates are strategic collections of layouts combined to create an entire website or blog. Templates are a blueprint for an entire website. These website templates help you launch a site quickly while keeping brand consistency between page layouts.
One of the biggest issues of copying/pasting blocks and patterns from random sources is you begin to lose your brand consistency. Maintaining a consistent website layout helps your viewers feel like they are in the right place when they browse your site.
A template simplifies and speeds up the process of creating a new website by bundling all of the blocks, patterns, and layouts together that are needed for a specific type of website.
Templates apply a unifying design style to all parts of a website so it has a uniform, consistent design.
No Website Left Behind
From website templates and reliable hosting to premium plugins and unrivaled support, to courses and community, we’ve got your back every step of the way with technical infrastructure that you can count on.
Optimized for Search Engines
From the code that powers our WordPress plugins and website templates to the designs that provide a gorgeous foundation for your big vision, everything we create adheres to current code standards and web development best practices.
All Mai design templates and individual block components are optimized not only for search engine friendliness, performance, and speed, but to also deliver premium user experiences that will have visitors coming back to your site again and again.
Lightning Fast Site Speeds
As search engines get smarter, SEO becomes more about good content and fast page load speeds than keyword hacks.
With the introduction of Google’s Core Web Vitals, having a fast website is more important than ever. You can get there quickly and easily with a Mai website template. All of our templates exceed the Core Web Vitals recommendations set by Google. In fact, Mai ranks 100/100 in Lighthouse tests and 99/100 in Google Page Speed tests.
Easy and Quick to Set Up
Installing themes and templates can be a nightmare, especially when trying to get your site to look like the demo site that inspired you to buy it in the first place!
Our Mai Setup Wizard solves that problem by loading sample content and component blocks that match the demo in mere minutes and just a few clicks. Updating an existing site? You can use our Mai Setup Wizard to import sample content without overwriting any of your existing content.
Mai Makes Customizing Your Site Easy
You need a website platform you can count on—one that is easy to set up, use, manage, and update—because the less work your website requires, the more time you have to move your business forward, help more people, and do what you love.

All website templates included in the Mai Design Pack are powered by WordPress, our Mai Engine plugin, and a collection of Mai premium plugins.
How are the Mai WordPress templates built? Do they use blocks?
All Mai website templates are built using a modern, component-based approach to design. This means every template is fully compatible with the WordPress block editor (AKA Gutenberg), which means you can mix-and-match and rearrange blocks to create any page layout you want.
