Every new installation comes with a generic login and dashboard setup designed to provide a staging area for setting up and running all aspects of the site. This default setup comes with a simple login screen that takes users to the admin area of the install, which features a long left sidebar and a screen that displays preset dashboard widgets for notifications about things like recent activity on the site, news, a “Quick Draft” text editor, and an overview of the site’s content.
This dashboard design layout can take up considerable screen room and doesn’t necessarily offer any relevant tools for managing your site’s specific functions. As a result, you may want to clear some space and add more useful tools, or you might simply want to change the appearance of the login and dashboard screens.
Customizing the dashboard can also be useful if your site has multiple users, as in a membership site, social network, or a magazine with numerous contributors logging in to create a blog or post content. In that way, you can set up the relevant tools for each user role and streamline the process of logging in and creating content. We make it easy for any user to customize the look and functionality of the admin-dashboard, even for site runners with no coding or web development experience at all.
