Searching Database…

What is this?MDB UI Kit is a Bootstrap 5 component library styled with Material Design: 700+ UI components — buttons, cards, modals, forms, tabs, carousels — written in plain JavaScript for building website frontends.
Is it a library I build sites with, or a set of ready-made templates?A library you build sites with: it extends Bootstrap 5's capabilities with extra components and Material Design styling. The ready-made templates are separate free downloads built with the kit.
How do I add it to a project?Install via .zip, npm or cdnjs — the README claims you are up and running in one minute. Experienced developers can pick the Webpack route for bundling, unit testing, linting and Sass support.
Do I need jQuery for the components to work?No — the components are written in plain JavaScript and jQuery is not required; it only comes into play if your project already uses it.
Does it need a backend or Node.js running somewhere?No — it is a pure frontend kit: HTML, CSS and JavaScript that run in the visitor's browser, usable straight from a CDN or a .zip with no build step.
Can I use it in commercial projects?Yes — it is MIT licensed and free for both personal and commercial use.
What kinds of components are in the box?Carousels, buttons, spinners, cards, forms with HTML5 validation, modals, hover effects, tabs, notes and scrollspy — among the 700+ pieces the kit ships.
Are there finished page designs I can start from?Yes — free Bootstrap 5 templates built with the kit: ecommerce, blog, magazine, checkout, login, pricing, portfolio, landing page and an admin dashboard.
What is MDB GO, which shows up in the install docs?The team's hosting platform: free hosting with SSL and custom domains, WordPress support, a free database, git and FTP deploys, plus one-click creation of WordPress or e-commerce sites.
Why is it called Material Design if it is Bootstrap?Because it fuses the two: you keep the Bootstrap 5 workflow and component structure, but everything is restyled to follow Material Design aesthetics.
