TLDR: This week’s update delivers 16 new block patterns with unique button hover effects, 3 homepage templates for cake shops, plumbing services, and about pages, plus 26 water-themed icons to enhance your designs.
Hello Creators 👋
Quick heads-up: As we head into the slower summer months, we’re changing our schedule to send updates every two weeks (twice a month). When the holidays are over, we hope to increase the flow again. We want to take this opportunity to slow down a bit and focus on improving MaxiBlocks, particularly with the new AI Builder workflow we are working on.
