👑 Mega menus: We need your feedback

We’ve been working on mega menus, a frequently requested feature. Given their complexity, we’re exploring an alternative approach using the MaxiBlocks interaction builder. We’ve created two example menus:

🔗 Mega Menu Light MML-PRO-01
🔗 Mega Menu Dark MMD-PRO-01

We’d love your feedback on whether these meet your needs. Your input will help us refine these menus and potentially create additional designs. Send any feedback to support(at)maxiblocks.com. Even one sentence of feedback will help.

MaxiBlocks starter sites WordPress

👀 In the works: Starter sites

We’re finally developing starter sites, one of your most requested features. Our previous work with MaxiBlocks has laid the groundwork for this development. While it’s a complex undertaking, we’re making steady progress on implementing component importing capabilities.

😎 A big thank you!

MaxiBlocks was nominated for Best WordPress Design Plugin in the Monster’s Award 2024. While official results are pending, it appears we’ve finished 5th in the rankings. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who voted for us. Your support means the world to us, and we’ll share the final results as soon as they’re published.
