Let`s face it, building web apps can be repetitive. Like that login form or file upload input you`ve implemented 500x before. Or that list of products you just want to get through with, so you can focus on the challenging and exciting stuff. You know, the kind of stuff that made you want to be a web developer in the first place.
We want to put the fun back in building web apps, so we partnered with Creative Tim and developed several admin dashboards with a fully integrated Laravel backend. What`s more, we packed up everything nicely in a bundle, so you can enjoy all our dashboards with a 70% discount.
The bundle consists of seven premium admin dashboards supporting the latest version of Laravel. Each admin dashboard has a distinctive look & feel, courtesy of Creative Tim`s design mojo, and comes with out of the box CRUDs for managing users, roles, categories, tags and items. In short, everything you need, so that your app looks like you want it to look and does what you want it to do.
We estimate our premium admin dashboards save you a hefty 90 hours of boredom. The bundle comes with over 1200 fully coded components, over 140 example pages, a functional Laravel backend and several awesome designs to choose from. Whether you are a material design aficionado, you`re considering a dark theme to improve readability, or simply want a dashboard developed in collaboration with one of the world`s leading design platforms, InVision, we`ve got you covered.
We like to think of the Laravel Bundle as a web development powerhouse. The present guide is meant to give you a flavour of how you can harness this power.
Below are six web apps you can start building right away with any of the PRO dashboards in the bundle and the general steps to do so.
