Last version is from 2020, and in November 2025 I could not get this thing up and running, I guess because of some changes in Python or so. Comments on the website remained unanswered since years, so I think this project might be quite dead.

What is Lektor?
Lektor is a flexible and powerful static content management system for building complex and beautiful websites out of flat files — for people who do not want to make a compromise between a CMS and a static blog engine.
FEATURES
Deploy Anywhere - Because Lektor builds out 100% static HTML you can deploy them to any host (including S3, GitHub Pages, any web host, etc.). Cross Platform - It runs on Linux, OSX and Windows. 100% File Based - All source data is well structured and can be tracked in a version control system or cloud storage like Dropbox. Flat-File Database - All source data is stored in a flat-file tree database and can be freely queried. The layout of that data is completely configurable. Customizable Admin - Lektor comes fully equipped with a flexible and beautiful admin interface so you can edit your pages without having to touch the raw sources. Dependency Tracking - The build process intelligently tracks page dependencies such that it only rebuilds pages that have changed. Image Tools - Create thumbnails and give convenient access to EXIF data. Plugin System - Lektor supports loading plugins that can customize a wide range of functionality. Python API - The build system is written in Python and provides a documented API to extend it and integrate into other apps. Multilingual - We can speak multiple languages and allow you to easily create localized websites.
