Material Boost Moodle™ Theme Overview
Classic LMS theme with a clean, card-based visual layout
Material Boost is a classic Moodle LMS theme designed for organizations that want a more visual and modern-looking interface while keeping a simple and familiar structure. It is well suited for platforms that want to present content clearly using structured layouts without adding complexity.
The homepage uses a card-based layout with clearly defined sections, making it easy to highlight courses, categories, and key information in a visually organized way. This approach works well for sites that prefer a more dynamic presentation compared to traditional text-heavy layouts.
Built on Moodle’s core Boost theme, Material Boost stays aligned with Moodle’s default UI. This helps reduce upgrade risk and keeps your site consistent with standard Moodle workflows, making it easier to manage and maintain over time.

Theme FAQ
No, our theme licenses are NOT subscription-based. They’re perpetual to the specific Moodle theme version.
For example, if you bought a theme license for Moodle 5.2, your license is valid for Moodle version 5.2 forever. You can use the theme on a Moodle 5.2 site as long as you like. You will also get free theme updates (incl. bug fixes and improvements) and support for Moodle 5.2.
If you’d like to upgrade your Moodle site from version 5.2 to a higher version in the future (eg. Moodle 5.3) you will have the option to upgrade your current theme license. A small license upgrade fee will apply so you don’t need to pay for the full license price for a higher version again.
Upgrading is completely optional, and you can choose when to upgrade. Pay for the version you need now, then upgrade later when you choose. Most customers upgrade their Moodle sites and themes every 1–3 years.
