Maxima – Retina Ready WordPress Theme Overview
Maxima is a WordPress theme from GoodLayers published in 2013, with packaged files at version 1.4.0. It is a restrained, text led design rather than a sprawling multipurpose kit, and configuration runs through the vendor’s admin panel and page builder.
Two layouts ship with it, described by the vendor as corporate and creative, switchable from the admin panel. A boxed or full width setting applies site wide, and the front end colour changer adjusts element colours while looking at the page rather than guessing from a settings screen.
The component set is the same one GoodLayers uses across its older catalogue: five custom post types for gallery, portfolio, testimonial, price and personnel entries, three blog styles with four sidebar arrangements each, six footer layouts, fifteen overlay patterns, a price table and a progress bar.

Who Maxima – Retina Ready WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Maxima suits a small Canadian firm that wants a clear, readable site quickly: a professional practice, a clinic, an independent school, a community organisation or a writer and consultant who publishes regularly. The blog styles and sidebar options are genuinely flexible, which makes it a reasonable choice where written content is the point.
The two layout limit is the thing to weigh. There is no library of industry demos, so the look comes from colour and typography choices rather than a prebuilt design. Anything operational, from bookings to a members area, falls outside what this package contains.
Important Notes About Maxima – Retina Ready WordPress Theme
Three statements in the listing do not match the declared record. The body says a PSD is included for the corporate layout, but the declared file list contains only PHP, CSS and JavaScript. The body also claims WooCommerce support while the declared record names WPML alone, so a shop built on this theme is unverified. The font uploader is described in terms of Cufon, a replacement technique long superseded by standard web fonts, which dates the package accurately.
The prose itself is damaged: the opening sentence has lost its subject and a loose list item dangles below the feature list. The release log is kept off the item page, which leaves the packaged number as the only marker verifiable here, and block editor optimisation is undeclared. AppiAppi gives no legal advice; privacy and newsletter consent duties, and French for Quebec audiences, rest with the owner.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
With the licence bought, AppiAppi puts the theme in place, settles on either the corporate or the creative layout, and sets the palette, typography and sidebar arrangement from the admin panel. Pages for services, about, team and contact are built with the customer’s wording, and gallery or portfolio entries are loaded with properly sized images and alt text.
Demo testimonials are discarded and replaced only with quotes the owner can stand behind. Maintenance afterwards covers updates, backups, monitoring, content revisions and AI-assisted search and copy work, scaled to the subscription plan, with form enquiries answered on the arrangement the owner sets.
