Build a site in 20 mins! Start from a blank project and build up to an 11ty site that includes Sass, a blog collection, and is prepared to source content from a headless CMS.
Watch the CollectionA growing collection of filters, shortcodes, and other tips for extending 11ty.
Review samples such as for working with dates or to extend built-in filters.
View All SamplesQuickly launch an 11ty-generated static site. Includes a minimal Sass framework, and generated sitemap, RSS feed, and social share preview images.
Test Drive the JumpstartFeaturing absolutely nothing beyond a base HTML5 template and the essential setup to watch and compile your Sass alongside 11ty.
Includes minifiying and autoprefixing of styles postbuild.
Get the StarterBased on my tutorial, this package creates dynamic images sized for social media tags (particularly Twitter and Facebook) based on your available pages. Use one of the predefined color themes, or define your own style, template, or both to customize the layout (like the ones in use on 11ty Rocks).
Configure the CLI script to run after your Eleventy build, and by default images will be created in _site/previews/ as png images. Use the CLI options to define a custom outputDir and/or a custom imageDir.
CSS Houdini worklets require a server to run. While there are many ways to create an envirnoment for developing and testing your worklet, as a static site generator, Eleventy provides a slim way to get setup and testing quickly so you can focus on creating your worklet!
You can preview the included worklet example on this CodePen.
Details and TemplateKickstart your 11ty plugin project with this template that includes a barebones 11ty build to test your functionality, and docs on how to test your plugin locally.
Also includes a boilerplate for your plugin README, and demonstrates setting up plugin config defaults.
Build Your PluginThis plugin provides a filter that displays an estimated read time for Eleventy content, optionally with an emoji visual indicator.
The plugin offers config options to change or remove the emoji, update the word-per-minute, and alter the label. A simple string is returned, so the text formatting is up to you.
The default appearance displays one 🍿 per rounded 5 minutes of estimated reading time, ex: 🍿 7 min. read
Eleventy makes it possible to mix templating languages. More importantly to this generator is that we can customize the output file type and composite a file from includes.
This generator works with the inherent features of 11ty. Web components are generated within a Nunjucks (.njk) template that outputs the final .js file.
Generate simple, responsive email templates, with inlined CSS on build.
Use the Sass theme setup to re-brand the default template, and use the frontmatter keys for flexibilty in the layout. Check out the README for additional tips on creating emails.
Create Your EmailsBased on my experience building StyleStage.dev, this tutorial will cover how to create a full-featured 11ty site including:
