Listen to what these happy developers are saying about Eleventy:

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

“Jekyll is dead to me” —Andy Bell

“I actually used Eleventy for the first time this week. Loved it.” —Paul Lewis

“Eleventy is almost fascinatingly simple.” —Chris Coyier

“Just the kind of simple / common sense tool I love. The data/folder hierarchy mechanism is super obvious and elegant.” —Heydon Pickering

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

“Eleventy is my fave.” —Tatiana Mac

“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
