Template Details
This is an Eleventy starter for building static websites. The repository description and README state that its technology stack combines Eleventy, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and Netlify. In the README's To-Do list, the template marks as completed: the Eleventy image plugin, navigation plugin, SEO metatags, robots.txt and sitemap.xml generation, TailwindCSS typography and forms plugins, and NetlifyCMS integration. Base layout/styles and multilingual support remain unfinished items.
To use it, clone the repository, enter the directory, run npm install to install dependencies, and then run npm run start to launch Eleventy. The template originates from Greg Wolanski's eleventy-tailwindcss-alpinejs-starter, and the author has a corresponding explanatory article on CSS-Tricks.
Regarding licensing, the repository contains the standard MIT license text, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright notice and license notice are retained when distributing. Third-party assets in the demo site, such as images, fonts, and icons, as well as external services like domains and hosting, must be verified separately or paid for.

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.
