Benefits of 11ty & Netlify for Website Development
11ty and Netflity are part of Jamstack, a modern web architecture that’s fast, easy to scale, and secure. Code is precompiled and served via Netlfify as static HTML, meaning pages do not require multiple database calls to pull what needs to be displayed. This process speeds up page loads and keeps a site more secure as there are fewer points of entry to intercept and modify data.
11ty’s powerful and flexible architecture allows developers to customize many aspects of it, speeding up the development process and making for efficient, readable code.
