50 Best Eleventy Starter Themes

Eleventy (or 11ty) is a Static Site Generator that aims to be a simpler alternative to Jekyl. It has been steadily gaining popularity in recent times, with 8.4K GitHub stars and 238 GitHub forks and growing!

It's completely open-source, written in JavaScript and unlike other SSG's (Gatsby, NuxtJS) it doesn't come bundled with a front-end library. Instead, it takes a series of templates, markdown files, and data and renders them as HTML. Eleventy works with HTML, Markdown, Liquid, Nunjucks, Handlebars, Mustache, EJS, Haml, Pug, and JavaScript Template Literals. Find out more at the official site!
