Looks amazing - great work! This might be something I can use for a new SaaS I'm doing. Is there a "dashboard" type page? And something with Tables/graphs etc?

At this moment we are working on Material Dashboard. It will come in the next weeks and it will be for Free having all the basic elements that you need to create a Dashboard (tables, charts, maps, forms etc). Then there will also be a Premium version for that with more components and customization. But the Free version will be enough for most of the cases.

It will be something like another dashboard that we created: http://demos.creative-tim.com/light-bootstrap-dashboard

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why is it not classy? The picture looks like a fashion photo shoot, probably for the earrings

Not everyone's culture would find that picture okay. It's not hard to find something else like a tree that would work just as well. Also, why not a guy?

You appear to be working really hard at taking offense here.

Why is a guy ok? I expected a girl in a bikini or something but it's just a headshot of a girl. That's totally fine in most places in the world.

> That's totally fine in most places in the world.

...and the places that isn't can suck it frankly.

Change that woman's picture at the bottom, not classy in my opinion. Also, in SeaMonkey, the part with the sliders is like the sluggiest I've ever seen a website...

Thank you for the feedback! We will check SeaMonkey (actually it's the first time when I hear about it :D ) and see what we can do to improve the sliders.

I wouldn't worry about the picture comment. The picture is clearly some stock photo but everything on that page is technically fake and for demo purposes.

You guys do great work, thanks!

I guess it's maybe because it's stereotypical attractive white woman picture -- doesn't hurt to mix it up a bit, show some creativity.

"Free?" what the heck is a Creative Tim license?

That is the license that we give to our users. As an overview, you can use this product for your personal projects, startups or for a client. What you cannot do is to get this product and resell it/post it anywhere as your own created product. This is what we want to protect. That's it. Please let me know if I can help with other information.

Lack of exact licensing terms may make any legal dept (or just copyright-conscious individual) wary. The table at /license doesn't count - there are no definitions and without those some rows are really odd, like "multiple developers" restriction (who counts as a "developer"? does the "personal" license forbid two computer-savvy persons making a website? or, say, what if I code the page myself but then call someone for assistance?)

Legalese sucks hard (and layman-readable licenses are hard to write), but ambiguity is even worse.

So can I clarify - will this be like an "add on" to the Material Kit that is posted here? i.e. can I use the Material Dashboard + Material Kit together?

Or will it be it's own standalone product?

i.e. can I start developing the Material Kit now, and add the dashboard on later?

Yes, you're right, the legal stuff sucks. We wanted to make it as simple as possible and not have 100 pages terms and conditions. We will try to make that more clear so people can understand that if they get this product for Free can be used by how many devs they have, in how many products they want.

Our business is to create good looking products that speed-up the development for web developers and not to go after people who use our products without a license. Probably there are 1000 people every day who just "View Source" of the page and get the product. We cannot and don't want to focus on those people :D
