Building a JavaScript dashboard for clients

I have been searching for a workshop or tutorial eeeeeeverywhere for making a client dashboard (using html css and javascript) that displays a clients google analytics (using Google API), tickets, site updates from the admin as well as several other cool tools a client would expect to see in their dashboard, whether they're a web design or digital marketing client.

I have not been able to find a workshop anywhere on this specifically and I think it would be a huge hit on treehouse, if they make a workshop on it ;)

Im just wondering if anyone knows of any workshops or tutorials for something like this.

Hey Evan,

So a JS Dashboard is just a webpage, like every other. If you understand HTML, CSS and JS, there's really no barrier-to-entry left to keep you from making such an app. If you're looking for some design-related inspiration, Bootstrap 4 has a dashboard theme you can check out. Take a look under the hood and see how they did it. Then, make your own ;)

I should mention that Bootstrap is, by no means, the only people to design a dashboard. Just search for "dashboard" on Dribbble or Behance or Sketch App Sources etc. and you'll find plenty of implementations.

Mikis is right, it's just a web page, you have the same issues with authenticating the user before taking actions, reading the database, etc.

If you can build dynamic website, you should be able to build a dashboard. I'm building a dashboard for a website right now using nodejs
