I’m planning to create my first @eleventy site soon and I’m already wondering which template language to use. Given that #Eleventy supports several formats, there’s a minor #ParadoxOfChoice at play here. I’ll probably just go with #Nunjucks for its flexibility.

#HTML #CSS #Hugo #WebDev #TechnicalWriting #SoftwareDocumentation #SSGs #StaticSites: “If you’ve ever wondered how a website works and whether or not you could build your own, this book is for you. The Static Site Guide walks you through the process of building a website from scratch by using hands-on examples. You’ll learn what a website is and how some of the most popular website technology works. By the time you reach the end, you’ll have built your very own website, and you’ll know how to do it again on your own.” https://www.staticguide.org/

We're back to my recurring nightmare of making it easy for a non-technical client to edit a static website generated using #Hugo.

Are there any good solutions? Or am I going to end up writing my own solution after many painful hours with other people's janky solutions?

If you know of a non-technical user successfully editing a static website, how are they doing it?

EDIT: I'll only use open source solutions I can self-host, but happy to hear about proprietary options.
