What is MaterialPro Bootstrap Lite?
MaterialPro Bootstrap Lite is a free, responsive admin dashboard template created by WrapPixel. It uses Bootstrap 5 for layout, Sass (SCSS) for customizable styling, jQuery for DOM interactions, and ApexCharts for interactive data visualization. The template outputs static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that include pre-built pages such as dashboards, authentication, user profiles, and error screens, and it runs entirely in the browser without a server-side framework. The repository also includes a Gulp-based build workflow to compile Sass and serve the project locally.
