Template Details

fr1end1y is a website starter kit that pairs Umbraco (which calls itself "the friendly CMS") with Eleventy (a simpler static site generator). The repository is distributed as a .NET template, hosted on both GitHub and NuGet (package name Umbraco.Community.Templates.Fr1end1y), and has a separate documentation site.

Installation is done by running dotnet new install Umbraco.Community.Templates.Fr1end1y in a terminal, then generating a project with dotnet new fr1end1y; the README states that .NET 9 and Node.js 20 are required. After installation, continue configuration by following the Getting Started guide on the documentation site.

The repository materials do not describe the template's specific page structure, styling approach, or how data is synchronized between Umbraco and Eleventy; those details require consulting its documentation site. The code is under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services such as domains, hosting, and databases, require separate verification of licensing and costs.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Eleventy as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
