## What it is
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
