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

“I've been digging into Eleventy, a new static site generator. Really like the way it handles pagination!” James Williamson’s Twitter PhotoJames Williamson

“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

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

“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

“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

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

“Just the kind of simple / common sense tool I love. The data/folder hierarchy mechanism is super obvious and elegant.” Heydon Pickering’s Twitter PhotoHeydon Pickering

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

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

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

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

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