Stabilis is a blog template built on Eleventy (11ty), a static site generator, that produces a fast, static Jamstack site with Netlify CMS integration.
What is Stabilis?
Stabilis is a blog template for Eleventy (11ty) hosted at defiestable.com. It uses Nunjucks (njk) templates for rendering and integrates Netlify CMS for content management. The template outputs a static site, meaning all pages are pre-rendered as HTML at build time and can be served from a CDN. The repository metadata describes it as an "11ty blog" with topics including jamstack, netlify-cms, and static-site.
Key Features
- Eleventy (11ty) static site generator — builds the site from templates and content into plain HTML files that can be deployed anywhere.
- Nunjucks templating — uses .njk files for layout and page templates, providing a full template language with variables, filters, and macros.
- Netlify CMS integration — offers a browser-based editor for writing and publishing blog posts, making content updates possible without writing code.
- Jamstack architecture — separates the frontend markup from backend logic, enabling deployment to any static hosting service.
- Static site output — each page is generated during the build, so no server-side rendering or database queries happen at request time.
Who is it for?
- Content-focused bloggers — can compose posts through the Netlify CMS interface and push changes via git.
- Front-end developers — who want a bare-bones 11ty starter with Nunjucks templates to customize.
- Jamstack adopters — seeking a simple blog setup that follows the static-site model and integrates with a headless CMS workflow.
What can you do with Stabilis?
- Content editors: use the Netlify CMS admin panel to draft, edit, and schedule blog posts without touching the codebase.
- Web developers: modify the Nunjucks templates to change layout, add sidebars, or create custom page types.
- Site owners: build and deploy the static output to Netlify, GitHub Pages, or any other host that serves plain files.
