Now UI Dashboard

Now UI Dashboard is a free, open-source admin dashboard template from Creative Tim and Invision, built on Bootstrap 4, that provides a complete set of responsive dashboard pages and UI components for web applications.

What is Now UI Dashboard?

Now UI Dashboard is a responsive Bootstrap 4 admin dashboard kit distributed free of charge by Invision and Creative Tim. It takes a developer's blank project and gives them a full set of styled pages — dashboard, user profile, tables, typography, icons, maps, and notifications — plus the SCSS source files to customize the design. The template runs entirely in the browser with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so it works with any backend or as a static set of pages.

Key Features

• Bootstrap 4 foundation — Built on Bootstrap 4, so most elements fall back to Bootstrap defaults if not redesigned, making it drop-in-friendly for existing Bootstrap 4 projects.
• Prebuilt example pages — Includes eight HTML pages: dashboard, icons, map, notifications, tables, typography, upgrade, and user profile.
• Chart.js integration — Ships with Chart.js for rendering charts on the dashboard page.
• Nucleo outline icons — Bundles the Nucleo icon font in eot, ttf, woff, and woff2 formats.
• Plugin set — Comes with Bootstrap Notify for alerts, Perfect Scrollbar for custom scrolling, plus jQuery, Popper, and Bootstrap JS under assets/js/core.
• SCSS source files — All styles are available as unminified SCSS (now-ui-dashboard.scss) alongside compiled CSS and minified builds.
• Gulp build setup — Includes gulpfile.js and package.json for task-based compilation and asset management.
• One-click cloud deploy — Offers a Genezio deploy button to push your own version of the template to a hosted environment.

Who is it for?

• Front-end developers building admin panels or dashboards who want a ready-made Bootstrap 4 layout with custom components instead of starting from scratch.
• Backend developers who need a quick UI for internal tools or CRUD interfaces — the static pages can be hooked to any API.
• Designers and prototypers using InVision who want the same visual language as Now UI Kit to create consistent, lifelike product mockups.

What can you do with Now UI Dashboard?

• Admin panel teams: Create a functional admin dashboard with charts, user tables, and notification toasts in a single afternoon by editing the included HTML pages.
• Startup landing builders: Use the user and typography pages as a base for account settings and content-heavy screens.
• Open-source contributors: Fork the GitHub repository and modify the SCSS files to produce a branded dashboard, then deploy it with the Genezio one-click button.

How does Now UI Dashboard work?

Download the kit from Creative Tim or clone the GitHub repo, then open the HTML files directly in a browser or serve them over any static host. For deeper customization, edit the SCSS files in assets/scss and run the included Gulp tasks to recompile CSS. The page structure is plain HTML with Bootstrap classes, so you can copy components into existing projects.
