Vuestic Admin is an open-source, ready-to-use admin template suite designed for rapid development, easy maintenance, and high accessibility. Built on Vuestic UI, Vue 3, Vite, Pinia, and Tailwind CSS. Maintained by Epicmax (@epicmaxco).
A free Vue 3 admin dashboard template built on the Vuestic UI component library, with Vite, Pinia, and Tailwind. Useful as a starting point for internal tools or SaaS admin panels if you're already committed to Vuestic UI, less useful as a generic dashboard skeleton.
Comes with a surprising amount of built-out scaffolding for a free template: auth flows (login, signup, password recovery), billing/payments pages, a projects/users CRUD example, and a full preferences section, not just a single dashboard demo page. It also has Playwright e2e tests and Storybook stories for a good chunk of components (PaymentCardList, BillingAddress, etc.), which most admin templates skip entirely. i18n is wired in with several locales out of the box rather than bolted on later.
All the data is fake — projects-db.json, users-db.json, users.json are static local files with no real API layer, so every page needs its store rewritten before it's usable for anything real. It's hard-coupled to Vuestic UI's component set; if you don't want that specific design system, you're rewriting most of the pages rather than reskinning them. The README spends more space on sponsors, awards, and 'hire us' pitches than on actual setup or architecture notes — real docs live off-repo on ui.vuestic.dev. The repo topics still list vue2 and vuex despite the codebase being Vue 3 with Pinia, which looks like leftover tagging from an earlier version and could mislead anyone filtering by topic.
