The Eleventy project is deprecating the 11ty.io domain and moving to 11ty.dev. 11ty.dev now has feature parity and the 11ty.io DNS will begin redirecting to 11ty.dev as soon as your DNS updates.

Cool URIs Don’t Change Jump to heading

A number of you lovely people 🧐 have pointed out that our documentation prominently links to the classic W3C slogan “Cool URIs don’t change.” While it may be tempting to latch onto the dictionary definition of change, the spirit of this idea still holds true!

This may be a purely symbolic gesture for now as we do plan to keep the .io redirects in place for awhile. But having our canonical domain off of the .io TLD is an important gesture to make and creates space to retire .io completely at some point in the future. Appreciate your patience with this transition.
