Overview

Eleventy Baseline is an experimental, optional toolkit for Eleventy. It bundles the pieces you tend to wire on every project—assets, head/meta, images, debugging, and sitemap—without turning into a framework.

Work in progress: APIs and defaults may shift as this project evolves.

Who it’s for

• You already use Eleventy and want common niceties prewired but stay in control.
• You’re curious about Eleventy but prefer vanilla, with a few conveniences.
• You like the idea of a minimal “starter core” rather than a theme.

Quick start

• Baseline concepts: Baseline Concepts
• Quickstart (checklist): Docs Quickstart
• Build from scratch: Build a Simple Baseline Site
• Add to an existing site: Integrate with Eleventy Base Blog
• Set correct URLs: Deployment URL Checks

Status & reminders

• Experimental; APIs may shift. Package: @apleasantview/eleventy-plugin-baseline (npm).
• Set site.url via env for correct canonicals/sitemap; use pathPrefix if deploying under a subpath.
