Smol Eleventy Starter

Extremely minimal Eleventy starter to kickstart a simple multi-page site / a nearly opinionless foundation to continue building on.

Quick Start

1. Generate a repo from this template which will copy this project into your own new repo. Note: You must be signed in to GitHub for this link to work, else visit the repo directly.

2. Once cloned, run npm install to install 11ty. Then run npm start to run 11ty in serve mode which will create a local server including hot-reload via BrowserSync.

   • Use npm run build to run a production version.

3. Open src/_data/meta.js and adjust the values to your details.

4. Edit index.md to change the home page, and then create content within src/pages using any templating format you prefer to add content.

Review the resources available at 11ty Rocks to learn how to apply more customizations, including adding custom data sources and reviewing what template languages are available.
