Unfortunately I choose ArchitectUI for a new project. This template is poorly documented and its file structure is over complex. Now, I am struggling for about a week trying to put the components together in a more simple and logical way. As a comparison, I used the React template from Creative Tim before, and in about one day I had everything ready for development.

Hi Oscar,

I am building an AWS Amplify project and was thinking of using a Creative Tim material dashboard.  I have already generated my create react app and started developing.  If I bought a pro dashboard could I just take bits I want and use in my own project, would be great to get some advise as I have never used one of these dashboards before and don't want it to waste time when its supposed to save time, thank you.

Hi Alan,

I would suggest that you try one of the free templates first to ensure that you will be using a significant part of the product. I am saying this because most of the templates out there are composed manly of open source components. The template vendors basically put the components together in a nice and concise way, which is a considerable workload. So if you are planning to use the design part of the template, definitely is a good investment.

I hope this helps you.

Thanks Oscar,

That's a good idea actually. I will download the free version and see how I can manage with it.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Indeed, the code structure is super important. If you have the time, try to provide some feedback to the Architect UI team. Maybe you are not the only one with this kind of problems and the next versions might be better.
Regarding Creative Tim, I'm also using their products. They are pretty good.

Do I have to give attribution of some kind when using their products?
