Svits

• Need to figure out a way to "import" our Maxi templates and patterns.
  - copy the files we need on import
  - import DB items we need at the same time
  - import notification styles / text
  - import button - need a progress indicator
  - dismiss for notification
  - check when to show and when to hide the notification
• Home Page
  - add new basic Front page - header, content, footer
  - remove old homepage pattern
• Check in the Theme Checker plugin
• Prefix css for basic templates
• Replace images
• Generate translation files
• Build all the files,
  - remove all logs we don't need
  - remove all temp. files
  - ~~make sure theme uses compressed files. ~~
  - need to keep the src folder by the WP rules.

Looks like a bug after 6.6 update, not related to the theme, going to fix in the plugin maxi-blocks/maxi-blocks#5670
