“Eleventy is a killer static site generator. That’s all.” —Sara Soueidan
“Eleventy is almost fascinatingly simple.” —Chris Coyier
“I actually used Eleventy for the first time this week. Loved it.” —Paul Lewis
“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 and web components go really, really well together.” —Justin Fagnani
“Eleventy + Netlify have become my new workflow for static sites. I think I'm in love.” —Mina Markham
“Just the kind of simple / common sense tool I love. The data/folder hierarchy mechanism is super obvious and elegant.” —Heydon Pickering
“Eleventy is absolutely wonderful. It’s by far the nicest static site generator I’ve used in what feels like forever.” —Addy Osmani
“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
