How should I style a dashboard to meet the expectations of users? I'm currently working on a project that could be great if the design is user-friendly. Any tips?
Thankfully the RefactoringUI guys did a case study:

They are pretty awesome.
Thanks so much this is really helpful
Depends on exactly what your dashboard is displaying, but I've found using a theme with a set of pre-designed components that I can drop into the page is really useful.
One I used is: https://preview.tabler.io/
Oh wow, that is perfect. Thank you so much
Would recommend looking through some free templates (https://colorlib.com/wp/free-html5-admin-dashboard-templates/) and seeing what some of those designs look like. It's totally dependent on your product and what your user needs to see, though. Looking through designs is a solid start in the right direction, but you also need to be testing different views with users, asking for feedback, and iterating.
Oh that's smart. Will do!
