Lektor

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 top-level example/ folder, which contains a showcase of the wide variety of Lektor's features.

For a more complete example look at the lektor/lektor-website repository, which contains the sourcecode for the official lektor website.
