Listen to what these happy developers are saying about Eleventy:

“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

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

“Eleventy is almost fascinatingly simple.”—Chris Coyier

“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

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

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

“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
