Building a Blazing-Fast Website with Eleventy and Netlify

07 December 2024

As a UI designer with a passion for minimal and brutalist design, I’m always on the lookout for tools that offer simplicity, speed, and flexibility. Two of my favorite platforms to achieve this are Eleventy (11ty) and Netlify. Together, they create a seamless workflow for building fast, modern, and ultra-lightweight websites.

Why Eleventy?

Eleventy (or 11ty) is a simple yet powerful static site generator. It takes plain text files (like Markdown, HTML, or Nunjucks) and transforms them into a fully static website. It’s minimal, fast, and highly customizable — a perfect fit for those of us who appreciate clean, no-frills design.

06 December 2024

As a UI designer who loves minimalist workflows and blazing-fast websites, Eleventy (also known as 11ty) has become one of my go-to tools for building static websites. It’s not just a static site generator — Eleventy’s power lies in its flexibility, speed, and ease of use. In this post, I’ll walk you through some of Eleventy’s standout features and why they’re so valuable for developers, designers, and content creators alike.

1. Simplicity and Flexibility

Eleventy doesn’t force you into a rigid structure or a specific JavaScript framework. It’s a zero-config, flexible framework that lets you work with the tools you already know and love. Whether you prefer Markdown, Liquid, Nunjucks, or other templating languages, Eleventy accommodates them all.

In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of remote work for developers and why it’s here to stay.

1. Increased Flexibility and Autonomy

One of the most significant advantages of remote work is the flexibility it offers. Developers can structure their day around when they are most productive, allowing them to focus on their most challenging tasks at their peak energy levels.
