Roxo is an Eleventy-based digital agency website template by StaticMania, built as a portfolio and blog starter for creative agencies, freelancers, graphic designers, and photographers. It ships as a static-site project that you clone, install with npm, and run locally to produce a responsive marketing site with a contact form backed by FabForm.io.
What is Roxo Eleventy?
Roxo Eleventy is a ready-made website theme for the Eleventy static site generator (11ty), designed for digital service providers. It takes your content and configuration as input and outputs a static HTML website styled with Bootstrap 4, including dedicated portfolio and blog sections. The template is created and maintained by StaticMania, the same team behind the Roxo design used across other static-site generators.

Yes, the repository is licensed under the MIT License, so you can use it for free in personal and commercial projects. The license permits modification and redistribution with attribution.
What static site generator does it use?
Roxo is built for Eleventy (also called 11ty), a JavaScript-based static site generator. The template provides a complete project structure with npm scripts for development and build tasks.

Yes, although it is designed for creative agencies and freelancers, the template can be adapted for any corporate website that provides digital services. The portfolio, blog, and contact sections cover the needs of most service-based businesses.
