Admin dashboards, since 2013
DashboardPack is the commercial template line from the team behind AdminLTE and Gentelella — two open-source admin dashboards with more than 66,000 GitHub stars between them, both still actively maintained.
We have been doing one thing for over a decade: building the screens that sit behind a login. Tables, forms, charts, settings, permissions, empty states, the unglamorous parts. It is a narrow speciality, and it is the whole business.
The open-source projects came first and are still free. DashboardPack exists for the cases they do not cover — current frameworks, typed code, and, where it makes sense, a real backend instead of a static demo.
How we got here
Colorlib, and the first AdminLTE commit
Colorlib started as a blog publishing free templates and WordPress themes, and grew into one of the most visited template resources on the web. The AdminLTE repository was created on 25 December of the same year.
Gentelella
A second open-source dashboard, which went on to pass 21,000 GitHub stars and a decade of production use in internal tools and client projects.
DashboardPack
Developers kept asking for things a free Bootstrap template could not reasonably provide: modern framework builds, TypeScript, real backends. So we started a premium line rather than compromise the free ones.
AdminLTE 4, and 46 premium templates
AdminLTE 4 dropped jQuery entirely and gained official integrations for React, Vue, Angular, Laravel, Django, Symfony, ASP.NET and Drupal. DashboardPack now spans nine frameworks, 6 of them with a full server-side application.
What we maintain
Three of these are free and open source. We keep shipping releases for all of them.
Bootstrap 5.3, no jQuery. Eight official framework integrations. Around three million npm installs a year.

What we will not tell you
Two things most template shops leave vague
Not every template has a backend. 6 of our 46 templates — the Laravel and Django editions — ship a database, migrations, working authentication and real CRUD. The other 40 are front-end templates you connect to your own API. Every product page says which it is, and so does the comparison of what ships by stack.
We do not publish testimonials we cannot stand behind. We would rather point you at our public repositories, our public download counters, a live demo of every template and our actual refund rate. Those are on the trust page, and you can check every one of them without taking our word for anything.

Every template has a live demo, and 4 are free and open source.
