Developers looking for a framework solution to build static generated websites and applications
About Gridsome
Gridsome makes it easy for developers to build static generated websites & apps that are fast by default. Vue.js, GraphQL & all the power of Node.js & the JavaScript ecosystem. Develop locally and get instant hot-reloading for any code change. Gridsome builds ultra performance into every page by using the PRPL pattern. You get code splitting, asset optimization, progressive images, and link prefetching out of the box. Gridsome sites get almost perfect page speed scores by default. Gridsome generates static PWAs. Only critical HTML, CSS, and JavaScript get loaded first. The next pages are then prefetched so users can click around incredibly fast without page reloads, even when offline. Gridsome sites load as static HTML before they hydrate into fully Vue.js-powered SPAs. This makes it possible for search engines to be able to crawl content and give better SEO ranking, and still have all the power of Vue.js.

Jekyll
No more databases, comment moderation, or pesky updates to install, just your content. Markdown, Liquid, HTML & CSS go in. Static sites come out ready for deployment. Permalinks, categories, pages, posts, and custom layouts are all first-class citizens here. Sick of dealing with hosting companies? GitHub Pages are powered by Jekyll, so you can easily deploy your site using GitHub for free, custom domain name and all. Jekyll is a static site generator. It takes text written in your favorite markup language and uses layouts to create a static website. You can tweak the site’s look and feel, URLs, the data displayed on the page, and more. The Jekyll gem makes a jekyll executable available to you in your terminal. Typically you’ll use jekyll serve while developing locally and jekyll build when you need to generate the site for production. To change Jekyll’s default build behavior have a look through the configuration options.

It’s zero-config by default but has flexible configuration options. Eleventy works with your project’s existing directory structure. Eleventy uses independent template engines. We don’t want to hold your content hostage. If you decide to use something else later, having your content decoupled in this way will make migration easier. Eleventy works with multiple template languages. You can pick one or use them all together in a single project. Eleventy is incremental. You don’t need to start an Eleventy project from scratch. Eleventy is flexible enough to allow conversion of only a few templates at a time. Migrate as fast or as slow as you’d like. Eleventy works great with data, use both front matter and external data files to inject content into templates.
