Useful Table Templates & Examples For Web Developers

Building a website is a complex process that requires patience, skill, and time. But, if you put in effort and passion to do a good job, the end result will be worth it. However, if you know your craft well, you have probably heard of tables – elements that are used to display raw data in different appearances. Let me tell you in detail what a table is, and how to use it.

What is a table template?

First thing’s first, we are to set a definition for a table element. The <table> element in HTML and CSS3 is used to display data in tabular form. In other words, it is a way of displaying and describing data in a form of rows and columns.

In Flatlogic we create web & mobile application templates built with React, Vue, Angular and React Native to help you develop web & mobile apps faster. Go and check out yourself!

A table template is simply the table that is ready to be used in the process of a site’s web design.

As these definitions are put down, we would like to share 37 of simple and useful CSS3 & HTML table templates.

CSS3 & HTML table templates and examples

Fixed Header Table CSS Template

We are starting the list with the simple, yet often necessary feature – fixing header. This template comes in a package, giving you the option to use different colors and styles, which is somewhat unique. And that’s not all, as Fixed Header Table CSS Template supports a number of different aims and intentions to assure catering to a variety of purposes.

Fixed Column Table

Number two in our list is somewhat of a classic. The fixed column table template is most widely used in situations, when it’s impossible to show the entirety of data in a single table. This makes it necessary to scroll to help the user to see the whole mass of information. And that’s where fixed column comes around, providing the web-designer with the opportunity of a simple and elegant solution.

Tables from Light Blue React Node.js

Entry number three is something we are personally proud of. And there are a couple of reasons for such a valuation, because Light Blue React Node.Js is Flatlogic’s very own creation and we hold it to a higher standard. And despite it being not a table template in its standard definition, but a fully functioning admin dashboard, it is packed to the brim with different table templates that unequivocally deserve your attention. Keep in mind the facts that Light Blue React Node.Js is integrated with Node.js backend and PostgreSQL, back-up of which gives you the possibility to take a look at a lot of table templates included. But we are not even close to being finished here. In the pictures below you will be able to see a couple of table templates you will be welcome to inspect under the looking glass and experiment around with. And here we attach a link to the Light Blue React Node.Js’ admin access, where you will find a plethora of different table templates that you will be able to easily use in your own projects. Feel free to do so.

Fixed Table Header

This table template is similar to the previous ones, which is not a surprise, giving that they all share a category.

Tables from React Material UI Admin Node.Js

Another Admin Dashboard template that Flatlogic, in all modesty, is proud of. And let’s be straight, there is, just like with Light Blue React Node.Js, a lot be proud of.

But there is a very distinctive difference in design of this entry and the fact that React Material UI Admin Node.Js is made with the help of Google Material Design. With this being said, we attach a link to this Admin Dashboard demo version for you to quantify.
