One-page CRM Admin Dashboard using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript

Introduction and Motivation

It's been a while I posted here. I was busy wrapping up my Bachelor's degree and thankfully, I graduated with first class honours on the 26th of November, 2021. While away, I decided to play around with pure CSS3 and vanilla JavaScript. Been using frameworks almost every time I work on projects. Since I learn best by doing, I decided to build a one-page Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform with some subtle animations using pure CSS3.

Features

The admin dashboard has, among others, the following features:

  • Clean and responsive design
  • Subtle animations with pure CSS3

Source

The project's complete code is online and it is entirely free both for private and commercial uses.

A feature-rich admin dashboard built with pure HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.

It was also hosted on github pages.

Some implementation details

CRM Admin Dashboard full view

CSS3 flex boxes and grid system were heavily used with the former being more rampant.

header

.carrotsuite-nav is a flex container which is the baseline of the header. Header elements composed of mainly fontawesome icons. The site's logo wrapper was absolutely positioned to aid easy positioning.

main

.main was made a grid container with its columns made 28rem 2fr.

The first column houses the fixed .sidebar whose .menu was made a flex container to ensure that the icons and their corresponding texts are horizontally aligned. A subtle animation was chipped in which puts up only the icons, with the texts used as their title using the only few lines of JavaScript that the code base has, when the viewport collapses to some breakpoint.

Smaller screen page

.page-content occupies the remaining grid column followed by other convectional styles. The only thing worth noting is the animated .dropbtn which rotates fontawesome's arrow-up icon -180deg on hover.

Conclusion

The project wasn't that fancy but it does help me brush up the fundamentals that were escaping.
