Summary

Maido suits visual blogs, company publications, and editorial sites where some stories need more prominence than others. Featured content opens the homepage, and four feed layouts arrange large stories and grid cards in different orders.

In practice

The pinned section groups posts and pages beneath its own hero. Color tags carry each story’s color across cards and post navigation, with an optional accent strip on article pages.

Best fit

Choose Maido if you want featured stories up front, control over the feed’s density, and story colors that continue across the site.

If you are not satisfied for any reason, a full refund may be requested within 14 days of purchase.
