This was a talk given at the 11ty International Symposium on Making Web Sites Real Good (2024): https://conf.11ty.dev/2024/11ty-sites-for-people-who-dont-think-they-are-web-developers/

For a long time, we've thought of web development in two separate streams. WYSWYG builders for non-techical people, code for the rest. What if 'non-technical' isn't real, ‘web dev’ doesn't have to be just something you do for money, and building sites on the open web can be a fun hobby, especially with 11ty?

In this talk, Adrianna will share how 11ty helped them finally break down the ’I’m not a web developer’ thoughts so they could build cool sites. Just like everyone can draw without being an artist, everyone can cook without being a chef.

Adrianna will also share a framework they've developed for talking about and teaching 11ty to people who think they are not web developers, but who really have things to share on the web.
