Does Laravel have a pre-made themes library or community?

I am a backend Wordpress and Drupal developer whose work rarely touches the front end. Instead, I've always relied on themes from Themeforest, etc.

I looked on Themeforest and I see things like "Admin Dashboards" but nothing like a real or full theme with default pages like I'm used to (About, Contact, Home, listing / collections page, single content item page).

Does Laravel have a similar concept? Libraries of premade themes? Or, do I have to convert a basic HTML one from scratch like Jeff did in the Laravel from Scratch tutorial videos?

Also, what is an admin theme?

Thanks!

Hi, Laravel doesn't comes with a UI or a pre-made theme like Wordpress.

The main difference is because Wordpress is a CMS and Laravel is a framework, which means Laravel can be used for any application you want to build, even a CMS (like https://octobercms.com/ ).

With this in mind, if Lavarel had pre built UI/themes for pages, single content, etc. this might be useful to you but not to others.

For your projects you can choose a library (like Bootstrap or Bulma) or a template and adapt the html to your needs.

For the last question an admin theme is basically a template to use in the background of your applications, in this case there are some libraries (like https://voyager.devdojo.com/ ) to help you manage your application. But again the backend will be some functionality only available to some users, so you can build from the ground up following your specific needs.

I hope I made myself quite clear.
