Getrich for developers

A more enjoyable way to build well designed marketing websites

Get the template

To get the template, click the button below or visit the GitHub Page and click "Use this template" in the top left corner. This creates a duplicate of this repository within your own GitHub account.

Run the code

After getting the code onto your machine and opening it within your code editor, simply run an npm i to install dependencies. Follow that up with npm start to fire up the 11ty Dev Server.

Build your site

To run a production build of your new site type npm run build into your terminal and click enter. By default, the HTML, CSS, and Javascript will be minified.

Background

This approach is purposefully simple. After working on a handful of SaaS marketing websites, it seems the biggest hang-up is adding complexity to provide ways for non-technical, "back-end" users to interact with the code (CMS, block-building, etc).

Getrich instead aims to make a marketing website codebase simple enough that any member of the team can dive in and make updates while simultaneously being performant and fully customizeable.

Here, my hope is that the code is simple enough for anyone on the team to work with. More to come, but I hope to build docs to help any team member get up to speed here.
