Overview

Combining the dynamic capabilities of Notion with the efficiency of 11ty as a Static Site Generator (SSG), this integration offers a seamless approach to managing content and website structure. NotionCMS transforms how users create and organize content within their Notion database, allowing for automated page generation and efficient handling of website routes. As a result, building intricate website hierarchies becomes both intuitive and powerful, without the hassle of complex configuration.

Setting up this system is straightforward, requiring only minimal initial setup. The integration of Notion data directly into your website means that users can focus more on content creation rather than the underlying technical complexities. For those looking to expand their site’s functionality further, the option for advanced workflows with additional plugins and custom templating is a fantastic bonus.
