Dashboard design examples

A dashboard gives people a quick read on how things are going before they dig into detail. Our screens combine KPI cards, a revenue area chart, a weekly bar chart and a recent-customers table in a finance context, laid out for web and mobile across eight visual styles, each with light and dark themes, HTML code and design tokens. Every example is an original design that comes with its HTML code and a DESIGN.md of colour, type and spacing tokens, in light and dark. Free to use and adapt.

Dashboard design tips

Show each KPI with its change against a stated comparison period, because a number without context tells people nothing about whether it is good.
Put the most important metric in the top-left position on desktop and first on mobile, since that is where scanning usually begins.
Use one accent colour for the primary series and muted greys for comparisons, so the eye goes to the data that matters.
Link every card and chart through to a detailed view, so the dashboard acts as a starting point rather than a dead end.

Questions

What should a dashboard show?

Only the few metrics that tell people whether things are on track and what needs attention, typically four to six headline KPIs, one or two trend charts and a short list of recent items. Everything else belongs in detailed reports. A dashboard should be readable in under a minute.

How do you lay out a dashboard?

Put headline numbers in a row of cards at the top, trend charts in the middle and detail such as tables below. Align everything to a grid, keep card heights consistent and group related metrics. On mobile, stack sections in the same order of importance.

Should dashboards use dark mode?

Offer it rather than force it. Dark themes suit people who monitor screens for long periods or in dim rooms, but chart colours need adjusting so they keep contrast without glaring. Design both themes from the same tokens so the hierarchy stays identical.
