I don't know of any tutorials specifically for 11ty eCommerce but here is a list of eCommerce platforms that work with Jamstack.
I've used Snipcart in the past, super easy to set up and will work with 11ty no problem.
Hey, take a look at Storyblok and its visual editor or TinaCMS. Both aim to have a great visual editing experience.
Tina is open source and works best with Next.js but it should be possible to connect it with Gatsby.
That's not totally accurate
Digging into Vercel's fair use policy, they have limitations that they hide from the main pricing page. The biggest being 25 builds per month – while Netlify gives 300 build minutes, which means like 250 builds for lightweight sites.
Netlify free can also deploy from repos part of a GitHub org
Yes, but Vercel's free hobby plan is more generous and powerful than Netlify's.
Besides, with the free plan, Netlify will give you the long unappealing domain project-name.netlify.app
whereas Vercel will give you the shorter project-name.now.sh
.
So Vercel is better overall.
With Vercel it's $20/team member, so you can host websites for multiple clients at $20/month if you're a freelancer, just bill your clients a fixed amount for hosting and make sure the combined amount covers the $20/month.
The easiest place to start would be to learn an SSG. If you are not experienced with frontend frameworks, a good place to start would be with Jekyll, Hugo or Eleventy. These are more traditional static site generators. You'll still get to understand the workflow and deployment, but without the learning overhead of a JS framework.
If you're already comfortable with a JS framework like React, there's Next.js or Gatsby. If you prefer Vue, there's Nuxt.js or Gridsome. If you prefer Angular there's Scully.
You could pick any one of these and build a simple project and deploy it live. This will give you a good place to start. If you want more info on which SSG to choose to get started, I wrote this article for Snipcart https://snipcart.com/blog/choose-best-static-site-generator
We just updated our article on everything you need to know about the Jamstack in 2021. We've included a section listing great Jamstack resources. Hope it can be useful!
Hey! Kind of a loaded question here but how does your system compare to [saleor](https//saleor.io)?
I am looking for a very lightweight ecommerce platform for my girlfriends hobby. The actual storefront will be 2 pages not including cart and payment screens.
Also will you have a self host option in the future?
Git-based CMS can deliver an API so it can be an API-first CMS. That being said, I think you want a comparison between Git-based CMS and Database-based CMS.
Git-based CMS is good for content revisions but does not scale if you have a complex data structure (relations between content type, etc.) or a lot of data. Database-based CMS takes the whole advantage of SQL (or other) to offer a flexible, fast and precise API.
