🏠 32 New contact form patterns (2,296 total)

To go with the contact pages, we’ve added 32 contact form patterns. These come in light and dark versions. You can use them on contact pages or anywhere else on your site.

The patterns range from simple email capture forms to complex multi-field forms. This variety lets you choose the right form for your needs, whether it’s lead generation or detailed customer inquiries. In a future update we will add email subscribe forms.

🎨 2 New icon patterns (2,296 total)

⛲ 43 new icons (14,329 total)

We’ve expanded our icon library with:

  • 29 Abstract icons
  • 14 Squiggle icons

These aren’t your typical icons. They’re shapes you can use in creative ways. Try using them as masks in MaxiBlocks’ background layers feature (Container Maxi) or decorative elements.

Coming soon: Blog Patterns and MaxiBlocks Go Theme

We’re working on new blog-related patterns, including:

  • 25 Blog heroes
  • 7 Blog stories
  • 10 Comment thread designs

These will make it easier to create attractive, functional blogs with MaxiBlocks. It’s built and tested, but we’re fine-tuning how it’s displayed in our demo library.

Additionally, we’re in the process of getting the MaxiBlocks Go theme approved through the WordPress.org review system. Once cleared, it will be available for everyone to use.

    Really enjoying what Maxiblocks is bringing to the table. It’s reassuring knowing I can create some sites that look nice and unique with the plethora of templates in the library that don’t look like the typical templates in most block based libraries. I’m hoping you all make plans for adding tabs to the library, I tend to use them often and end up adding Greenshift just for the tabs block

      Thanks 😻 Yes tabs is on the to do list 🫡
