Material Kit Design

Probably the most innovative design crafted by Creative-Tim, Material Kit is a pixel-perfect Bootstrap 5 Design inspired by Google's Material Design 2 specifications.

Material Dashboard 2 - HTML template version (product page)

Material Dashboard 2 is built with over 60 frontend individual elements, like buttons, inputs, navbars, nav tabs, cards, or alerts, giving you the freedom of choosing and combining. All components can take variations in color, which you can easily modify using SASS files and classes.
