Template Overview
This template provides a clean, responsive admin dashboard layout with a fixed sidebar navigation, statistic cards, and two interactive charts powered by Chart.js. It demonstrates how to combine Bootstrap 5’s grid system, utility classes, and components to build a professional UI for admin panels.
Best Use Cases
- Internal company dashboards for sales, traffic, or finance.
- Admin panels for content management systems.
- Learning projects that explore responsive layouts and data visualization.
Layout Sections
- Sidebar Navigation: Fixed vertical menu with icons and active state.
- Top Bar: Optional header for page title and user actions.
- Stat Cards: Four Bootstrap cards showing key metrics.
- Charts: Two canvas elements for a line chart and a doughnut chart.
- Footer: Small footer with copyright information.
Responsive Behavior
The sidebar collapses into a top navigation drawer on screens smaller than md (768px). The grid automatically stacks cards and charts to a single column on mobile devices, ensuring readability.
Customization Tips
- Change the
.sidebarbackground or width intemplate_cssto match brand colors. - Replace the placeholder icons with any Font Awesome 6 icons by editing the
<i>classes. - Update the chart data in
template_jsto reflect real metrics. - Add or remove navigation links by editing the
<ul class="list-group">block.
Implementation Notes
Bootstrap 5 CSS and JavaScript, as well as Font Awesome 6 and Chart.js, are already loaded in the preview environment. The template uses only vanilla JavaScript to initialize the charts after confirming window.Chart exists.
Accessibility Checklist
- All navigation links include
aria-current="page"for the active item. - Icons have
aria-hidden="true"and are accompanied by descriptive text. - Color contrast meets WCAG AA for text and background.
- Charts include
role="img"andaria-labelattributes for screen readers. - Keyboard focus styles are preserved by Bootstrap’s default focus outlines.
