What is Admin?
Admin is a static HTML admin dashboard template styled with Tailwind CSS and using jQuery for interactive behaviors and Google Fonts for typography. It takes no backend input — you download the files, open them in a browser, and get a complete dashboard shell with 9 HTML files, including sample pages for authentication, tables, forms, modals, and UI components. The template targets modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera) and is fully responsive, so it adjusts to mobile, tablet, and desktop screen sizes. A live preview is hosted at themewagon.github.io/admin, and the current version is v1.0.0.
