Show IH: Admin Dashboard Templates Built with Vue, React and Angular

Admin and Dashboard Templates built with Bootstrap, Angular, React and Vue JS @ Flatlogic

OP is here.
We have been selling admin dashboard templates for five years on Wrapbootstrap and now developed our own platform.

Let me know if you have any questions!

  1. 1

    Hi,

    You have targeted a niche market of admin boards.

    I cannot particularly comment on how big this can be in the market as there is a competition.

    But you can definitely get an advantage if you get into the mind of the user. Today the users you are targetting, want three things in particular:

    1. As much minimum colour as possible except graphs.
    2. Sleeker look like having backgrounds in #fafafa
    3. Ability to get more flexibility with fewer efforts (visit https://undraw.co/illustrations) and change the colour from the top right menu. You will see the colour changing in the illustrations below.

    I don't think anybody is giving the 3rd and it can be instrumental.

    Moreover, a quick question regarding the team demographics. Do you think that the team demographics affect your content in particular? More the diverse team more fresh is the perspective?

    Thanks!

      Hi Prem,

      Yes, indeed, we came up to a pretty similar conclusion: admin template design must be unobtrusive and content-oriented.

      As of your question regarding team demographics I did not really get it. Would you mind clarifying? I think design quality depends more on a skillset rather than demographics.

      1. 1

        I read this nice experiment from some agency where they were doing good already in terms of sales but as a part of the experiment they diversified their demographics, as they were making designs for the global audience and global clients. The per unit metrics changed for some countries like Japan, India, etc.

        The conclusion was they had people with the similar skillset in their house already but the diverse demographics brought fresh and newer perspective at looking things.

        I shall drop a link here if I can find it.

          Oh, great, I never thought about it. Well, if I observe something similar in our team I will definitely post it ;)

          Thanks

    Good timing, was just browsing the other markerplaces today and couldn't find anything i liked.

    $50 is nothing, I will happily pay $100 or more for a trully premium theme that has a ton of features and i can easily tweak if it saves me 100s of hours of work!

    1. 1

      Emanuel, thanks for your comment.

      What particular features would you like to see in a premium template?

      1. 2

        This is obviously my own and personal interest and I must say that I'm very picky with design.

        But I would happily pay $100 (or a lot more) for a template:

        • different from the other 1000s of admin templates out there (they are all based on the same one, doing things in the exact same way)
        • very well polished Login and Signup and onboarding screens (i.e. complete profile, upload picture) with nice css animations, social media buttons (anything you can think of: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, Amazon, etc)
        • error messages that are not just your standard jQuery tooltips.
        • out of the box user management UI (this is probably one of the most basic features of any admin panel)
        • chat messenger with all the UI for sharing images, files, etc (including the interactions)
        • calendar section with all the buttons and lightboxes to add event information (with ability to setup recurring events)
        • post wall (LinkedIn/ Twitter style) with text posts, images, videos.
        • success messages that are not just the standard bootstrap alerts or toastr base popup style

        There are a few more, I will try to list more tomorrow when I'm back at my desktop. Happy to chat with you and give you some ideas if you think this is of any value.

        If you can make something a bit different, you'll be able to stand out from the crowd and I bet people will pay more just for that. At least I would in a blink of an eye.

        Don't get me wrong, your designs are very nice. But like others have said, it's just that there are other designs at the same level but at almost half the price in those marketplaces.

        Hope it makes sense.

        These are just my 2 cents and my personal opinion. I might not be representative of the market! You might very well prove me wrong and sell a ton of these designs, and I really hope you do :)

        1. 1

          Emanuel, thanks a lot!

          Yes, I completely realize that this your biased opinion and I was intentionally asking for it. I genuinely want to build very high quality products to help developers save a lot of their time. We have just started, so we are eager for feedback - it is very valuable for us. I believe that a great feedback and an ability to accept it is a half of a product ;)

          As to your points they totally make sense. We have been investigating the market and tried to determine what makes a successful template successful. We came up to three key metrics: a design quality, amount of pages and support (e.g. long-term maintenance). So it is kind of a three dimensional space multiplied by amount of frameworks and admin templates you build, hence it is a bit hard to grow in all direction. Anyways, we are going steadily build our client base focusing on product quality, so I believe in a year or two we will have a much better result.

          Thanks again for your feedback. Let me know if I can do something for you - for example we could give you free access to our themes if you like. We could chat in skype or somewhere.

          Best,

      Just checked the designs, while they are very good, there are templates with the same level of quality for about $20-30 and the same amount of features or more.

      Some examples:
      https://themeforest.net/item/elephant-dashboard-admin-site-responsive-template/18072368

      http://angular-material.fusetheme.com/apps/dashboards/analytics

      Sorry, don't want to criticise but hope the feedback helps!

    It's interesting. I'm just curious what's differentiate your service from themeforest for example. You can find cheaper templates there with a good quality. It's not a critic, just curiosity.

    1. 1

      Hi Fabio,

      Well, you are right - there are cheaper analogues available on the market. However, we want to compete in a premium segment, where people buy themes in order to get high quality product and having $20-$30 difference for a product of a high quality is not a problem for them.

      I hope you got my point ;)

      Both yes and no. Yes, because we too sell admin dashboard templates and no, because we sell only our own templates, built by our team
