Build It Yourself, Bring Your Vision to Life – Like Bob
Bob is a do-it-yourselfer. He likes to be in control, to manage every aspect of his home, his life, and his business. Bob is an entrepreneur, tech-savvy, ambitious, and a problem-solver. He likes to learn, do, and be self-reliant. Bob is preparing to build his dream home—a cabin in the woods of Northern NJ. He’s built some homes in the past, but there has always been one challenge or another that prevented him from creating his true dream home.
These challenges involved everything from tools that didn’t work as promised or expected (or even ended up being unsafe), zoning roadblocks, unforeseen flaws in the framework/foundation, and even problems with neighbors, so this time Bob wants to make sure there are no limitations in building his ultimate dream home, exactly the way he wants it. Bob wants to work from a solid framework, but he also doesn’t want his home to look cookie cutter.
Building your own home is like building your own website.
Part of this process is researching and choosing the best plugins, marketing tools (email, lead gen, affiliate), hosting, design, layout, menu structure, figuring out how you want to display your products, call-to-actions, ads, and more.
It’s also configuring the back-end settings the way you need and monitoring performance, speed, analytics, and UX.
Using the solid foundation that Mai Theme provides, you can’t go wrong. With tremendous flexibility and functionality, you can easily build your site from the ground up—even if you’re not a developer or someone with a tech background—and revel in its success. You’ve got this.
Buy It & Focus on What You Love – Like Sally
Sally wants to buy a liveable house with a sunny fenced yard where she can grow a garden and let her dog run around without worry. Sally is considering a well-regarded gated community or a townhouse in a great neighborhood. She likes the idea of a turnkey property that she can just enjoy and adapt to her lifestyle. That’s why she wants something where all the maintenance is taken care of—like cutting the grass, plowing the snow, fixing the occasional leaking pipe—and there are amenities that make her life easier and more enjoyable—like a pool, dog-friendly picnic area, and gym.
Buying a reliable, safe, maintenance-free home is like buying a Mai Solution.
Sally wants to approach her business’s website the same way she approaches buying a home. She knows the technical aspects of a site are important—she doesn’t want to worry about things breaking or the site getting hacked, being slow, or giving a bad user experience—but doesn’t know much about how they should work and doesn’t have the time or desire to learn. She wants to focus on her business and what she loves, but also have a reliable, great looking site where her visitors can easily find the information they need and book photography appointments. Her biggest problem is she doesn’t know where to start. It’s difficult finding a streamlined solution that still looks unique and professional without overpaying.
Mai Solution empowers you to do what you love without the maintenance of your website taking up your precious time. You’ll have a modern-looking site that’s still unique and optimized to today’s standards. Focus on your business, sharing great content, and helping people better their lives. With Mai Solution, everything is taken care of from hosting, DNS, and SSL to design, mobile-responsiveness, core SEO, plugins, and more.
