= Do I need to pay for advanced blocks? =
No, all page builder features and blocks are free for everyone. You can build anything you want with MaxiBlocks without restrictions. To help you work faster we offer a pro template library subscription that gives you thousands more templates built with Maxi. Our in-house template creators have years of experience working with Maxi. You can benefit from their skills and save a ton of time by using the templates we create and maintain just for you.
= How can you offer unlimited domains? Is it sustainable? =
Absolutely. Our strategy is to offer unlimited domains to attract a broad user base, which in turn boosts our sales of premium templates. This model is sustainable because our revenue comes from these template sales rather than limiting the number of domains, ensuring creators have free access to all essential features, while we thrive through template upgrades. It’s a win-win!
= Is MaxiBlocks compatible with my theme? =
MaxiBlocks is designed to be compatible with most WordPress themes. However, some themes may have unique styling or functionality that could affect compatibility.

Scenario A: Designer Jane, with a Pro access account, accesses the library, crafts five distinct websites, and hands these sites over to five separate clients. These clients can fully operate their websites without any need for a Pro access account.

= Why don’t you need licence keys with the pro library? =
We’re on a mission to make licence keys and domain restrictions go extinct, just like dinosaurs (except without the cool bones). Plus, we refuse to follow the crowd and hold basic features hostage just to sell the “full-version.” With Maxi, your pro templates always stay functional and receive updates indefinitely.
= How do sites built with Pro templates stay updated? =
Each Pro access account allows you to create unlimited sites. Sites crafted with Pro templates always auto-update, even without Pro access.
