Don’t take my word for it
#Listen to what these happy developers are saying about Eleventy:
“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
Read the replies to: “Fans of Eleventy.... why do you like it better than other static site generators?”
“Eleventy + Netlify have become my new workflow for static sites. I think I'm in love.”—Mina Markham
“Don’t tell Zach I said it but Eleventy is seeming fresh as hell so far”—Mat Marquis
“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
“Just the kind of simple / common sense tool I love. The data/folder hierarchy mechanism is super obvious and elegant.”—Heydon Pickering
“Jekyll is dead to me”—Andy Bell
“Eleventy is almost fascinatingly simple.”—Chris Coyier
