Template Details
Metis is a free Bootstrap-based admin dashboard template. The repository is named bootstrap-admin-template, maintained by authors associated with Colorlib, and released under the MIT license. It can be used free of charge for the admin interfaces of applications, services, or software.
The template provides two versions: v1.2 for Bootstrap 2.3.2 can be used by opening index.html directly; version 2.3.2 for Bootstrap 3.3.7 requires building via node.js, bower, and gulp, with build output in the public directory, and includes an RTL build command to generate right-to-left layouts.
The page structure includes a dashboard home page and representative inner pages such as products. Preview screenshots cover both desktop and mobile. The README notes that the template was already somewhat outdated at the time and mentions plans for a major overhaul in the coming weeks, so the features and styling of the current version are subject to the repository's current state.
Usage restrictions: The MIT license covers this version's code; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their respective licenses. External services such as domains, hosting, and databases may incur additional charges. The template is distributed as-is, without support.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
What to verify for this project

- Screenshot last checked
- 2026-10-03
A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies HTML as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
