Winning with 11ty

11ty is a dialed-in and focused static site generator. Rather than trying to be a jack of all trades 11ty has doubled down on being the fastest and easiest to use static site generator available today. No more worrying render modes, servers, or bundle size. Just wicked fast websites that your users will love.


Here are three of the biggest advantages of using 11ty today:


1. Escape the framework rat-race

No heavy JavaScript framework to load and zero-JavaScript by default has 11ty speeding past its competitors. It even includes a great image component to make sure you have every speed advantage.

2. You are in control

11ty is highly configurable giving you the freedom to choose your own adventure when it comes to how you will use it. Pick from 11 different template languages, use custom directory structures, source content from any API, and more!

3. No magic, just accessible defaults

11ty guides you to use web standards and accessibility best practices wherever possible. This makes 11ty easier to get started with and easier to maintain over the long term.

Real-time collaboration

Level up your team

Unlock content velocity for your entire team with real-time collaboration, detailed document histories, and custom publishing workflows. Every word is shared and stored in an instant!

You can work right alongside your teammates on the same document in real time. See the friendly faces you’ve been missing, all in sync, all together.

No more documents locked when a coworker is editing them, no more accidental overwrites. Just content bliss!

Sanity Studio

Customize, configure, captivate

Sanity Studio is easily configurable and endlessly customizable. Start with our modern set of default inputs and build a bespoke CMS that your team will rave about.

Internalization and localization? No problem. Custom inputs? No problem. Mapping and geolocation? No problem. Sync data with webhooks? No problem. Amazing headless CMS for 11ty? Definitely, no problem.

Developer experience

The happy path for developers

Sanity is built with developer experience as a core principle. Sanity Studio is a single-page application that you can customize with React and JavaScript/TypeScript.

With Sanity, you get an instantly familiar code environment and a battle-tested API. Plus, Sanity’s infrastructure-as-code approach means you can version control your entire backend in git.

There is a reason we were voted #1 in developer experience two years in a row. Step onto the happy path with Sanity and 11ty.

Don't take our word for it

Say goodbye to messy files and embrace structured, real-time collaboration.

Kim Maida

Developer Content Group Manager @ Okta

I chose Sanity Studio because I wanted to learn a new headless CMS, and liked the docs. I like it because it's flexible and intuitive to learn, customize, and build with JavaScript, so it fits into the JAMstack so seamlessly!

Frontend Developer @ Compassion International

After playing around with different JAMstack combos, headless CMS, SSGs for React, etc... I think I've finally landed on my ultimate, seamless, buzzworded, undefeatable ultra stack: Sanity as a CMS, Create React App, React Snap (SSR) + Netlify (pre-rendering).
