The best open-source headless CMS for 11ty

Manage your 11ty application content with a powerful headless CMS.

The easiest way to manage your content

Strapi enables content-rich experiences to be created, managed and exposed to any digital product, channel or device. Strapi is powered by a modern technology stack using Node.js – it's fast. Really fast.

Unlike other static site generators like Gatsby or NuxtJS, 11ty doesn’t come bundled with a front-end library. 11ty is more like a traditional SSG where it takes a series of templates, markdown files, and data and renders HTML files to serve.

Flexibility is the the word

The power of 11ty comes in its flexibility. It can be configured to use various template languages like Nunjucks, Liquid, Handlebars, and others. It can use one for an entire site or mix and match engines between pages for maximum customization.

Its flexibility allows it to fetch data from multiple sources and Strapi can be one of them.

Fast and Secure

By choosing 11ty and Strapi you create a JAMstack project which will make it fast, secure, delivered by pre-rendering files and serving them directly from a CDN.

Pre-rendered static HTML of static sites loads much faster than the pages on a dynamic site. Fast websites are really important for a good user experience, and also for boosting your site in search engine rankings.

The vast majority of hacks happen through the website database. With server-side processes abstracted into microservice APIs, surface areas for attacks are considerably reduced.
