Material Kit – Free Bootstrap 4 UI Kit

Material Kit is a free Bootstrap 4 UI kit template by Creative Tim that supplies 60 hand-crafted components and three example pages to accelerate front-end development with Google's material design styling.

What is Material Kit?

Material Kit is a download-and-edit HTML/CSS template built on Bootstrap v4.0.0 that outputs a ready-to-use set of UI components. It takes the included HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript files and produces a material-design-themed interface, with an animated sticky top navigation bar and drop-down menus. The template is distributed as a free download through ThemeWagon and is open source, so you can use it in commercial projects and receive lifetime free updates. The creator is Creative Tim, a design studio known for Bootstrap-based UI kits.

Key Features

Material Kit's key features center on a large component library, interactive JavaScript behaviors, and a build-ready source structure using Bootstrap 4 and FontAwesome.

• 60 hand-crafted components — Buttons, cards, forms, navigation, and more, all styled with a deliberate color palette, edge-to-edge imagery, and large-scale typography based on material design.
• Five JavaScript components — Modal, carousel, tool-tip, date-picker, and popover are included as modern interactive elements.
• Two customized plugins — Additional plugin functionality beyond the base Bootstrap library, bundled with the kit.
• Three example pages — Ready-made layouts to use as starting points, shipped as five HTML files total.
• Animated sticky top navigation bar — A top nav that sticks to the viewport with a drop-down menu, built into the template.
• SCSS and Gulp file — Source files include SCSS for styling and a Gulp file for build automation, alongside compiled CSS and JavaScript source.
• FontAwesome integration — Icons are handled through FontAwesome, paired with Bootstrap's core components.
• Extensive documentation — Documentation files are included in the download to explain the components and customization.

Who is it for?

Material Kit suits anyone who wants a material-design UI without building components from scratch, especially front-end developers, designers, and startup teams.

• Front-end developers — Use the ready-made component set to integrate into a Bootstrap 4 project or to prototype new interfaces quickly without writing repetitive CSS.
• Web designers — Demonstrate interactions like modals, carousels, tool-tips, date-pickers, and popovers to clients using pre-styled components.
• Startup teams — Launch a landing page or internal tool by starting from the three example pages and sticky navigation, then customize the SCSS for branding.

What can you do with Material Kit?

With Material Kit you can quickly assemble pages, prototype interactions, and create consistent UI patterns using the included components and example pages.

• Prototype UI screens: Assemble pages by pulling from the 60 included components and example pages to test layouts and interactions in the browser.
• Build a landing page: Use the example pages and animated sticky navigation to create a marketing site with a material-design look, then customize the SCSS to match your branding.
• Create a pattern library: Extract the components and documentation into a company style guide so other developers reuse consistent UI elements.

How does Material Kit work?

Download the template from ThemeWagon and unzip it. You'll find five HTML files, CSS and SCSS files, JavaScript source files, libraries, and a Gulp file. Edit the HTML directly or run the Gulp build process to compile the SCSS into CSS, then open the pages in any modern browser; the template is compatible with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Mobile, Opera, and Safari.
