ct-black-dashboard-pro

ct-black-dashboard-pro is the GitHub repository for Black Dashboard PRO, a paid Bootstrap 4 admin dashboard template by Creative Tim designed for building dark-themed back-office and management interfaces.

What is ct-black-dashboard-pro?

Black Dashboard PRO is an admin dashboard template built on Bootstrap 4 and distributed as the ct-black-dashboard-pro repository on GitHub. It takes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript source files as input and produces a responsive, dark-themed admin panel with sample pages and reusable UI components as output. The template runs entirely in the browser as a static front-end project, so no server-side framework is required and the result can be hosted on any static web host. Creative Tim, the template's maker, sells this PRO edition as a commercial product that extends the free Black Dashboard with additional components and pages.

Key Features

Bootstrap 4 foundation — the layout, grid, and UI components are built on Bootstrap 4 classes, giving responsive behavior on desktop and mobile viewports.

Dark "black" visual theme — the template ships with a dark color palette that suits admin panels and monitoring tools where reduced glare is desirable.

Sample admin pages — the package includes typical back-office pages such as a dashboard overview, data tables, forms, and user profile views, ready to be edited in any code editor.

PRO edition scope — this repository corresponds to Creative Tim's paid PRO tier, which adds components and examples over the free Black Dashboard release.

Static front-end delivery — no backend or build pipeline is bundled, so the source can be opened directly in a browser or dropped into an existing web project.

GitHub distribution — the template is released through the ct-black-dashboard-pro repository, which currently shows 14 stars; the repository metadata itself contains no description and no topic tags.

Who is it for?

Front-end developers can use the Bootstrap 4 sources as a starting point for a custom admin panel, replacing the sample content with their own data and views.

SaaS and startup teams can adopt the dark-themed layout for internal back-office tools without commissioning a bespoke design.

Digital agencies can reuse the responsive dashboard structure as the base for client reporting portals.

What can you do with ct-black-dashboard-pro?

Admin panel builders: assemble the included Bootstrap 4 pages and components into a complete back-office UI — such as user lists, settings screens, and overview dashboards — connected to their own APIs.

Data presentation: use the template's dashboard layout to show tables, cards, and status summaries in a dark theme suited to constant screen exposure.

Pricing

Black Dashboard PRO is a paid commercial product. It is the paid PRO tier of Creative Tim's free Black Dashboard, which remains available as a separate open release.

Alternatives

Black Dashboard (free) — Creative Tim's no-cost counterpart that covers the basic dashboard layout without the PRO extras.

Material Dashboard PRO — Creative Tim's admin template with a Material Design look instead of the black-on-light Bootstrap styling.

AdminLTE — a free, long-established Bootstrap admin template with a light default theme, useful as an open-source alternative.
