Material Kit Generator - Build a BS5 Website Fast

Editor -

Hello! This article presents a free service we can use to build simple web apps crafted with basic modules like authentication and Docker support on top of a pixel-perfect Bootstrap 5 design. Material Kit App Generator is a visual tool that generates simple starters based on the input provided by the users and saves the code on Github. Thanks for reading!

The design used to style the starters is crafted and released for free by Creative-Tim on top of Bootstrap 5. The Material Kit 2 Design 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.
