What is ZeroPoint?
Starting a web project can be exhusting!
Static Site Generators like Eleventy and the Jamstack in general are amazing, but an SSG usually requires some time and troubleshooting to get Javascript and CSS loading, and to get all your pages and assets organized.
Most importantly it can be difficult for new users to know where to start!
ZeroPoint aims to get you started faster by giving you a simple, easy-to-understand project structure that you can build on. ZeroPoint is designed to be a starting point for your project, not a finished product.
