Lektor

Lektor is a static website generator written in Python. It takes a project made of static files and builds every page of the site into individual HTML files, so the output can be hosted on any basic web server or content delivery network without a running application.

What sets it apart from many static generators is a built-in admin interface and a minimal desktop application, which let editors change content visually instead of working only in text files. The repository includes an example folder that showcases the wide variety of features, and a separate repository holds the source of the official Lektor website as a more complete example. It is described as a static file content management system.

Lektor is licensed under BSD-3-Clause and runs locally during editing, producing files you publish wherever you like. It suits developers who build portfolio, documentation and small business sites and want a lightweight CMS-like editing experience for clients without a server-side database.
