How can I contribute?

Step 1 Participate

• Build something—join the 900 developers building with Eleventy.
  • Want to brave the Eleventy Leaderboards and track the Lighthouse scores of your web site over time? Add your site to the 11ty-community repo!
  • It’s also helpful if you add <meta name="generator"> to your existing Eleventy project.
• Ask a question, answer a question: We welcome questions from people of all experience levels on Discord, GitHub Discussions, and the issue tracker. We really appreciate help answering those questions too!
• Tell a friend! Our project doesn’t have a big marketing budget so we rely on word of mouth!

• 20k Star Eleventy on GitHub! This is an easy way to support our underrated project and help boost our rank on both GitHub and jamstack.org’s list of site generators.

• Join us at the 11ty Conference or the Eleventy Meetup!
