How to Deploy an Eleventy Site with Vercel

This guide will show you how to deploy an Eleventy site and get your domain set up.

Eleventy is a simpler static site generator, created to be a JavaScript alternative to Jekyll. To build an Eleventy site, start with a template:

Deploy Eleventy to Vercel

Vercel is a platform for deploying the fastest Eleventy sites. You can deploy your site with zero configuration to the best frontend infrastructure.

  • Develop: Build Eleventy sites that connect to your favorite APIs, databases, and content management systems.
  • Preview: Integrate with any GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository for instant continuous deployment.
  • Ship: Deploy your site to every edge node worldwide for the fastest Eleventy sites. Static files, Serverless and Edge Functions, and more.

Built-in CI/CD for Eleventy sites

Vercel has integrations for GitHubGitLab, and Bitbucket to enable CI/CD for your Eleventy site with zero configuration. Then, you can run automated tests for performance and reliability on every push. Pull and merge requests are deployed instantly to a unique URL, accessible to your entire team.

Add your custom domain

After deploying, your new Eleventy site will get automatically assigned a .vercel.app suffixed domain. You can then add a Custom Domain on your choice, either from a third-party or purchased through Vercel.
