Lektor is a static file content management system and static site generator written in Python. It builds flat-file content into static HTML pages and ships with a built-in admin UI, plugin system, and Python API.

Use cases

• build a static website from flat files
• manage a blog or portfolio site without a database
• edit site content through an admin interface instead of raw files
• generate a multilingual static site
• deploy a static site to GitHub Pages or S3
• extend a static site generator with Python plugins

When to choose

• you want CMS-like editing with fully static output
• you prefer flat-file content tracked in version control
• you need a Python-based static site generator with an admin UI
• you want built-in multilingual support and dependency-tracked rebuilds

When to avoid

• you need dynamic server-side features like user accounts or live databases
• you want a headless CMS serving content via API
• your team prefers JavaScript-based site generators like Gatsby or Next.js
