Eleventy (Build Awesome) is a JavaScript‑based static site generator that converts a directory of templates into fast, pre‑rendered HTML. It supports many template languages and integrates with modern front‑end tools.
Use cases
- Generate a blog from a collection of Markdown files
- Build a documentation site with custom HTML and Nunjucks templates
- Create a marketing landing page using Sass and JavaScript assets
- Convert a directory of mixed template types (Liquid, Handlebars, Vue) into a static website
- Set up a fast, zero‑runtime personal portfolio site
When to choose
- You need a lightweight, zero‑runtime static site generator with flexible template support
- Your project is primarily content‑driven (Markdown, HTML) and you want fast build times
- You prefer a Node.js ecosystem and want to integrate with tools like Vite, Sass, or TypeScript
When to avoid
- You require server‑side rendering, dynamic APIs, or a full CMS backend
- Your site depends on real‑time data fetching that cannot be pre‑rendered at build time
- You need out‑of‑the‑box e‑commerce or user authentication features
