Admin Dashboard Template - Day
Free open-source day-mode admin dashboard starter template built with Tailwind CSS.
About this template
Admin Dashboard Template - Day is a free, open-source admin dashboard starter template built for Tailwind CSS by Tailwind Toolbox, giving developers a pre-built day-mode layout to jump-start admin panels and internal tools.
What is Admin Dashboard Template - Day?
Admin Dashboard Template - Day is a single-page HTML starter template that uses Tailwind CSS loaded from a CDN, so it requires no build step or package installation. It provides a light-colored ("day mode") admin dashboard layout that can be customized directly in the browser source. The template is maintained by Tailwind Toolbox (created by Amrit Nagi, co-owner of Astrava.Solutions) and is distributed under the MIT license. A companion night-mode version, Admin Dashboard Template - Night, is available from the same site.
Key Features
- CDN-hosted Tailwind CSS – The template is a single HTML file referencing Tailwind via CDN, so you can edit and preview changes without a Node.js or webpack setup.
- Open source (MIT) – The code is released under the MIT license by Astrava.Solutions Ltd., allowing personal and commercial use with the copyright and license notice included.
- Day-mode color scheme – The layout uses light backgrounds and dark text, tailored for daytime environments; a matching night-mode template is available.
