Looking for CMS advice

Hey Web devs!

Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?

I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.

Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.

Needs

• I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
• Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
• Static website in the front-end
• Simple and reliable CI/CD
• No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
• Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
• #OpenSource

Nice to have

• Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
• Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
• CMS app packaged on @yunohost
• No CMS vendor lock-in
• I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
• #FreeSoftware

Absolutely not

• Front-end #JavaScript frameworks

Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.

People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

Learn how to use the Passthrough File Copy feature to add static assets like CSS and JS to the output directory in the Eleventy (11ty) site.

I used eleventy-post-graph to add a quick year visualization to my year pages (2025, 2024, ...) and a visualization for the whole blog. Someday it might be nice to make it more accessible and figure out how I can link to the blog post(s) for that day. #11ty #viz #blogging

I'm not sure if my outie knows I use #11ty.

Anyone have an #11ty example of syntax highlighting code saved in a file? I wanted to output the content of my eleventy config file and package.json in itself. (I’m making a presentation, in 11ty, on how minimal 11ty can be to use)

Call for Presentations

I'm looking for the next speakers for the 11ty meetup! Speakers of all levels welcome! Got a talk idea related to 11ty and/or the indie web? Let me know!

P.S. Old speakers, we can now add separate social media profiles for Mastodon and Bluesky - check the 11ty Discord (preferred) or DM me your updates.

(thanks for your patience with all the testing!)

I will forever think it is not ready and keep futzing but heck I need to push this thing live. Had some fun over the last couple of days building this with #11ty - Contribute your TechCat #caturday https://techcats.netlify.app/

#Netlify update: if you have a domain controlled by Netlify, turns out when you’re ready to leave, they will only let you transfer to an account at `Name.com, rather than the domain registrar of your choice. Doing so counts as a transfer under ICANN rules: no further transfer allowed for 60 days.

I am getting my remaining #11ty sites off Netlify ASAP.

One thing I am loving about @eleventy is I can make one snippet and use it everywhere, and if I wanna update that one snippet I just change the NJK file, like this one. Displays all tags with a counter! https://github.com/rkingett/myblog/blob/main/_includes/tags.njk #11ty #WebDev #Eleventy
