Lektor is a static website generator. It builds out an entire project from static files into many individual HTML pages and has a built-in admin UI and minimal desktop app.
To see how it works look at the example folder which contains a
very basic project to get started.
For a more complete website look at lektor/lektor-website
which contains the sourcecode for the official lektor website. We also have the example project at the
top level of this repository example/ that is a lean example of the wide variety of the features
of Lektor.
