This one goes to 11(ty)

A lot of the web doesn’t need a database, server-side scripting, or a framework – good old HTML, CSS, and a smattering of JavaScript will do the job. A static site can work for the long haul without the admin overhead and the constant worry of getting hacked or spammed. Yet we don’t want to go back to the days of Stonehenge and manipulating code across pages and FTPing files to servers. Having the efficiencies and workflows that modern web platforms offer is ideal, but in a form that we can control and customise is where modern static site generators come in.

But why settle for a static site generator that only goes up to 10 when you can have one that goes to 11? In this session, we’ll explore how 11ty (Eleventy) cranks up the volume on modern web development by delivering maximum flexibility without the noise.  This isn’t just one louder; it’s fundamentally different.

11ty lets you rock’n’roll without getting lost on your way to the stage, while its extensive customisation options ensure you can fine-tune every aspect of your design and build process. From simple blogs to complex enterprise sites, 11ty adapts to your needs rather than forcing you to adapt to its constraints.

By session’s end, you’ll understand why 11ty isn’t just another static site generator – it’s the one that goes to 11.
