Build 11ty sites visually with full control — or let a web designer hop in

Alex Hoyau will demo how Silex can be used to build 11ty sites visually — either by developers or by web designers with no code. He’ll show how to start a Silex project from the CLI in an 11ty setup, connect a CMS and an API, then do the same demo from the visual editor at v3.silex.me. Free, open source, and fully in the spirit of 11ty.

Alex Hoyau (he/him)

For over 20 years, Alex Hoyau has been building the web as a CTO, JavaScript developer, and open-source advocate. He co-founded Internet2000.net, a web studio focused on eco-conception, and maintains silex.me, a visual website builder that generates 11ty sites. His passion is creating tools that stay true to the web and empower developers, designers, and anyone eager to learn.

11tyCMS: A FOSS, offline first, local CMS app for 11ty

I wanted to make 11ty sites easier to manage, easier to write for. But I didn't want the overhead of hosting a server or a web app just to manage what should be a static site. So I'm developing an electron app to manage 11ty websites. A CMS with NO servers, no subscriptions or costs, entirely FOSS. Welcome to 11tyCMS!

Jessie (they/she)

I'm a PA school drop out, with a passion for all things science and tech! I've been coding for 15 years and love to work on FOSS projects. I love the open web and want to do whatever I can to strengthen it.

How do I register?

You don't!

We weren't interested in the corporate idea of collecting registration information. Instead, we share the zoom link via the calendar event, in an event on our public calendar, in an email on the day of, and in the 11ty discord on the day of.
