Template Details

Wave is a SaaS starter kit maintained by thedevdojo, built with Laravel and released under the MIT license. It is positioned not as a general-purpose admin template, but as a pre-built foundation for the account and operational modules common to SaaS products, allowing developers to continue building their own business features on top of it.

According to the features listed in the README, Wave covers: authentication, user profiles, user impersonation, billing, subscription plans, roles and permissions, user notifications, changelog, blog, pages, API, admin panel, themes, and plugins. These modules correspond to the main stages of a SaaS product, from registration and payment to content and backend operations. The official documentation explains each feature in sections and provides an online demo site where different themes can be previewed.

There are two installation methods: an automated installer or manual installation, with complete steps in the official installation documentation. The project also offers video courses, some of which are free, while the rest require a DevDojo Pro subscription. The code itself is free, but external services such as domain, hosting, database, and payment may incur separate charges; third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked against their respective licenses.

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

Repository update recorded

Screenshot last checked

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 Laravel 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.
