A simpler static site generator. An alternative to Jekyll. Written in JavaScript. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML. Works with HTML, Markdown, JavaScript, Liquid, Nunjucks, Handlebars, Mustache, EJS, Haml, and Pug.
It's modern. It's fast. It has good tooling support. There are lots of templates. There are integrations with popular tech such as tailwind and webpack. If you are not allergic to NPM, then give this a shot.
Eleventy is the SSG I reach for first. I actively run both my personal and business websites on 11ty. The product's focus on HTML and CSS is refreshing in a sea of JS generators.
Love that 11ty can work around whatever bizarre folder structure I happen to be using on a given project with a million and one ways to get information into it.
11ty is literally responsible for bringing back my desire to make for the web again. I call it my enabler, and it has powered all of my projects since 2020. Especially with v2 released, the features meet every need I have from blogs to authenticated membership sites. I love how the structure is up to me and my project needs, with easy extensibility when those needs grow and change. Plus, the community strives to be inclusive and helpful, which is encouraged by Zach. Thanks for all your hard work making and improving Eleventy! 🎈
Really impressed with the build speeds, documentation and community support. Also Zach's tweets <3
