BLK Design System Angular is a free, MIT-licensed Angular UI kit created by Creative Tim, built on Bootstrap 4, that gives you over 70 UI elements and three ready-made pages for building dark-themed websites.
What is BLK Design System Angular?
BLK Design System Angular is a free, MIT-licensed front-end design system from Creative Tim, built on Angular and Bootstrap 4, that packages over 70 components and three page templates into a single downloadable Angular project. It takes a black-and-white visual style with bold colours and clear typography and turns it into responsive web pages using the Bootstrap 12-column grid. The kit includes the complete source code, SCSS styling, and Angular routing (app-routing.module.ts) with pages for landing, profile, and registration. You can get it via npm (npm i blk-design-system-angular), download the zip from GitHub or Creative Tim, or clone the repository.
Key Features
- 70+ UI elements — redesigned buttons, inputs, navbars, and typography that fall back to Bootstrap defaults for components you haven't customised.
- Three example pages — landing, profile, and register, each implemented as an Angular component under
src/app/pages/examples/. - Bootstrap 4 + Angular stack — built on Angular with SCSS, a modular file structure (app.module.ts, pages.module.ts), and Bootstrap 4 grid and utilities.
- Responsive 12-column grid — layouts adapt across desktop and mobile via the Bootstrap grid system.
- Complex documentation — a hosted documentation site covers the design idea, foundation, and each component at the demo URL.
- One-click deployment — the repository includes a Genezio deploy button for publishing your own version.
- Multi-framework versions — Creative Tim also publishes HTML, React, and Sketch versions of the same design system.
- MIT license — free to use for personal and commercial projects.
Who is it for?
- Angular developers — need a pre-styled Bootstrap 4 UI kit to assemble landing pages or marketing websites without hand-writing CSS for every component.
- Freelancers and studios — want a fast starting point for client sites, using the included landing and profile templates as a base.
- Startup founders — can spin up a product landing page or registration flow quickly, then deploy directly to Genezio.
Use cases
- Launch a product page: start with the landing page component, swap in your copy and screenshots, and publish a responsive site with the included navbar and footer elements.
- Build a sign-up flow: use the register page component with form inputs and buttons to create a clean registration experience.
- Create a personal profile: customise the profile page for an individual or team bio with photos and social links.
How does it work?
Install the template by running npm i blk-design-system-angular, downloading the zip from GitHub, or cloning the repository. After setup, run the Angular dev server, edit the components in src/app/pages/, and build your site. The template includes routing, environments, and tests (karma.conf.js, tslint.json) so it slots into a standard Angular CLI project.
