Don’t just take my word for it. 🌈 Listen to what these happy developers are saying about Eleventy:

“Easily one of my favorite open source projects ever!” Tyler Sticka’s Twitter PhotoTyler Sticka

“Eleventy is a killer static site generator. That’s all.” Sara Soueidan’s Twitter PhotoSara Soueidan

“Eleventy is absolutely wonderful. It’s by far the nicest static site generator I’ve used in what feels like forever.” Addy Osmani’s Twitter PhotoAddy Osmani

“It's clean, elegant, easy to use, and does just enough to be useful without getting in the way. Excellent work 😊” Timothy Miller’s Twitter PhotoTimothy Miller

“Eleventy + Netlify have become my new workflow for static sites. I think I'm in love.” Mina Markham’s Twitter PhotoMina Markham

“Eleventy and web components go really, really well together.” Justin Fagnani’s Twitter PhotoJustin Fagnani

“I heard Eleventy was good” Lach Zeatherman’s Twitter PhotoLach Zeatherman

“Every time I make something with Eleventy it makes me smile. I think that might be to do with its focus on simplicity.” Phil Hawksworth’s Twitter PhotoPhil Hawksworth

“Just gave Eleventy a first run/try and I must say it's pretty dang awesome. Especially for someone like me, who is most familiar with HTML and CSS and some JS. ❤️” Marco Hengstenberg’s Twitter PhotoMarco Hengstenberg

“Eleventy is almost fascinatingly simple.” Chris Coyier’s Twitter PhotoChris Coyier

“Eleventy is my fave.” Tatiana Mac’s Twitter PhotoTatiana Mac

“I think what's great about Eleventy is how it was able to simplify SSGs to just 2 concepts: data sources and templates.” Matthew Phillips’s Twitter PhotoMatthew Phillips

“I challenged myself to build the site in a day. I started at noon on Saturday and had something launched by 1am Saturday night. Built on [Eleventy] served by GitHub Pages, using [TravisCi] to deploy.” Snook’s Twitter PhotoSnook

Read the replies to: “Fans of Eleventy.... why do you like it better than other static site generators?”

“[Eleventy is] a platform that legitimately built things in the way that I thought and worked more than anything else out there, and with every new feature it's like my mind gets read.” Bryan Robinson’s Twitter PhotoBryan Robinson

“Holy cow! Eleventy is so crazy simple to work with.” Will Riley’s Twitter PhotoWill Riley

“Jekyll is dead to me” Default AvatarAndy Bell

“I tried Eleventy last night on a personal project and today we implemented it on a (non-public facing) client project. It's really good.” Cody Peterson’s Twitter PhotoCody Peterson

“Eleventy… makes my life so much easier.” HJ Chen’s Twitter PhotoHJ Chen

“Seriously can't remember enjoying using a Static Site Generator this much. Yes Hugo is rapid, but this is all so logical. It feels like it was designed by someone who has been through lots of pain and success using other SSGs.” Phil Hawksworth’s Twitter PhotoPhil Hawksworth

“I've been digging into Eleventy, a new static site generator. Really like the way it handles pagination!” Default AvatarJames Williamson

“I really like the flexibity Eleventy offers in comparision to my previous Jekyll build.” Alex Carpenter’s Twitter PhotoAlex Carpenter

“I actually used Eleventy for the first time this week. Loved it.” Paul Lewis’s Twitter PhotoPaul Lewis

“I looked into and actively tried using various static site generators for this project. Eleventy was the only one I could find that gave me the fine-grained control I needed at blazingly fast build times.” Mathias Bynens’s Twitter PhotoMathias Bynens

“Don’t tell Zach I said it but Eleventy is seeming fresh as hell so far” Mat Marquis’s Twitter PhotoMat Marquis

“I like Eleventy.

(I hope that was enough to get me on the testimonials page.)” Steve Gardner’s Twitter PhotoSteve Gardner

“After a day or so tweaking my existing build, here is a preview of the site running on Eleventy. I'm sold! The main thing to me was the ability to run custom JavaScript logic to sort, filter, and augment data in collections.” Eduardo Bouças’s Twitter PhotoEduardo Bouças

“Just got through moving a project to Eleventy. Never used nunjucks or a static site generator before, but it was so easy. This will make my life so much easier.” Micah Mills’s Twitter PhotoMicah Mills

“Eleventy is as close as we’ve gotten to how the web was always meant to be built (ya’ know, once we realized the value of templates and JavaScript).” Reuben L. Lillie’s Twitter PhotoReuben L. Lillie

“Think the reason everyone is loving [Eleventy] so much (myself included) is that it doesn't come with a prescription about data sources or template rendering.” Brian Leroux’s Twitter PhotoBrian Leroux
