“Think the reason everyone is loving [Eleventy] so much (myself included) is that it doesn't come with a prescription about data sources or template rendering.” —Brian Leroux
“Just the kind of simple / common sense tool I love. The data/folder hierarchy mechanism is super obvious and elegant.” —Heydon Pickering
“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
“Don’t tell Zach I said it but Eleventy is seeming fresh as hell so far” —Mat Marquis
“I actually used Eleventy for the first time this week. Loved it.” —Paul Lewis
“Eleventy and web components go really, really well together.” —Justin Fagnani
“Eleventy is absolutely wonderful. It’s by far the nicest static site generator I’ve used in what feels like forever.” —Addy Osmani
“Eleventy + Netlify have become my new workflow for static sites. I think I'm in love.” —Mina Markham
“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
“Eleventy is almost fascinatingly simple.” —Chris Coyier
