Eleventy is a simpler static site generator.

Bring joy back to writing websites


Eleventy isn't the first Static Site Generator in Node.js out there. But it gets amazing feedback from different parties. Time to look into what makes it so compelling! We'll touch Setup, Data Directory Files and Template Languages. You'll see, that you have plenty of options to choose from.

Eleventy gained the hearts of the community by storm. But what makes it compelling?

This talk will give you a round about the origin, the people behind it, show you what you can build and how you can help.

You can pick from Liquid, Nunjucks, Haml, Pug, EJS, Handlebars or Mustache or go with plain JavaScript template strings. Data Directories allow for abstracting away recurring frontmatter elements. They can even be leveraged to build entire pages from! Also, you can query an API endpoint and provide the results as Data to your templates.

The build and deploy process can happen whereever you like.
