As wanted to relaunch my personal portfolio website, I chose JAMStack with local eleventy (11ty) build and netlify deployment, using the liquid template syntax which I already know from Shopify. As I do not need to turn a simple website into a webapp, I would rather stick to proven, robust and long lasting markup with its simplicity, accessibility, speed and cross platform support, rather than rely on a javascript framework like React or a content management system software like WordPress that usually come with a lot of extras not needed but rather impeding my work. Compared to more complex local development stacks, eleventy was easy to start with and I was able to deploy my first page updates to netlify quite quickly.
