Build Awesome Pro
Build Awesome Pro is a new service we’re building to help anyone launch and maintain a web site—no installation required. It’s a web site builder boasting visual editing and collaboration, zero lock-in (ever), while ultimately helping to fund continued Build Awesome (Eleventy) maintenance for the entire community.
Look, we even made a fun video and a Kickstarter to introduce the thing:
You can also watch it on YouTube.
Our Kickstarter was funded successfully by 838 lovely folks (322% funded). If one of those people is you: thank you!
Features
- No installation required. Build Awesome Pro runs on our servers — Build Awesome (free) runs on yours. Skip the terminal and get straight to building.
- Publish on the go. Return to the office? No thank you! Add new content from any device with a web browser.
- Visual editing. Edit your site’s content and preview your changes live.
- Collaboration. Work on your site together with your community and colleagues.
- Zero lock-in, ever. Your site is built on open standards and the open-source Build Awesome (Eleventy) tool. Take your content and leave any time you like—it’s yours.
- Funds the open-source project. Every Build Awesome Pro subscription helps fund continued Build Awesome (Eleventy) maintenance for the entire community.
