This is a basic 11ty website that includes everything from GOV.UK Frontend.
You can copy and paste code samples straight from the GOV.UK design system.
It should be great for prototypes, but might also be suitable for some small, simple production services as well.
The main folder is /pages where HTML pages live.
Layouts are in the /_includes subfolder. Choose which layout you want to use by changing the lines at the top of the files:
---
title: My first page
layout: default
---
You can copy and paste code samples from the GOV.UK design system into these.
Other folders you might see:
/assetsimages and font files needed by the site live in here/javascriptyou can write custom JavaScript in here/stylesyou can style your website using SCSS here
You need node.js installed for this to work.
Check if you have it by running node -v in your terminal.
If you do, run these commands:
npm install
npm run dev
It should be available in your browser at http://localhost:8080.
If you run npm run build in your terminal, it will build a set of HTML webpages to the /_site folder that are ready to publish on the web.
It's suitable for any static file host, like Netlify.
Netlify brings lots of handy enhancements, such as quick forms. You'll struggle to make multi-page forms - a GOV.UK staple, this way though.
