Template Details

getzeropoint.com is the public website repository for ZeroPoint, an Eleventy starter, released under the MIT license. The repository serves both as the starter's showcase site and as a directly reusable project skeleton: content lives in src/content/pages, site data lives in src/data (navigation.json and site.json), and Eleventy configuration for collections, filters, plugins, shortcodes, and more is split out of .eleventy.js into per-file management under src/config/. Styling uses CSS, SCSS, and CSS variables, with brand-related variables centralized in _branding.scss, and the script entry point is src/assets/scripts/main.js. The README provides two deployment paths, GitHub Pages and Netlify, and lists commands such as npm i, npm run dev, npm run staging, and npm run production. The repository does not state specific dependency versions, browser compatibility ranges, or levels of accessibility support in the available material, so these must be verified independently before use.

Is it right for your project?

Use Cases

  • Use as a starting skeleton for an Eleventy project, adding pages and content directly on its directory structure
  • Edit pages, navigation, and styles in the GitHub web interface or the github.dev editor
  • Deploy to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions, or use the Netlify button for one-click deployment
  • Build static sites separately in staging and production modes

Suitable For

  • Developers who want to build a static site with Eleventy and accept a Markdown/HTML content workflow
  • Projects that prefer splitting Eleventy configuration across multiple files rather than concentrating it in .eleventy.js
  • Static site projects that need a GitHub Pages or Netlify deployment path
  • Users who accept the MIT license terms and will independently verify third-party asset licenses

Getting started & customization

Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.

  1. 1

    Install dependencies with npm i, and use npm run dev for local development.

  2. 2

    Build commands: npm run staging marks each page with noindex, while npm run production is used for production builds.

  3. 3

    To deploy to GitHub Pages, enable Pages in the repository settings and select GitHub Actions as the source, and enable read and write permissions for the workflow.

  4. 4

    To deploy to Netlify, use the Deploy to Netlify button in the README to connect the repository.

  5. 5

    Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.

Usage conditions & limitations

Free to use · keep license notice

This entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope is the code of this version and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.

Must comply with when using

  • Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code are permitted.
  • When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
  • The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.

Additional costs & items to verify

  • Deploying to Netlify requires a Netlify account and hosting the site on its platform, which is an external service dependency, not a code license restriction.
  • Deploying to GitHub Pages requires enabling Pages in the GitHub repository settings and selecting GitHub Actions as the source, depending on the GitHub platform.
  • The GitHub Actions workflow requires enabling read and write permissions in the repository settings, which is a platform configuration requirement.
  • Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
  • External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.

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.

What to verify for this project

Repository update recorded

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.

## Eleventy Configuration

Eleventy configuration is abstracted from the typical `.eleventy.js` file and moved to `/src/config/` for easy organization and configuration of collections, filters, passthroughs, etc.

## Install project dependencies

```bash
npm i
```

## Run the project locally

```bash
npm run dev
```

## Build for staging

(The same as production except every page is flagged `noindex`)

```bash
npm run staging
```

## Build for production

```bash
npm run production
```
