help Lektor FAQ

Is Lektor the same CMS as Ghost?

No. Ghost is a JavaScript-based publishing platform, while Lektor is a separate static-site content management system built with Python. Lektor generates static output rather than functioning as Ghost's backend.

What language and framework does Lektor use?

Lektor is built in Python and uses Jinja2 templates for page rendering. It stores content in a file-based model and builds a static website from that content.

Does Lektor need a database server?

A basic Lektor site does not require a traditional database server because its content model is file-based and the final site is static. That can simplify hosting, although dynamic features need separate services.

Is Lektor suitable for a blog or documentation site?

Yes, it can manage structured pages, blog posts, and documentation through its admin interface and content model. It is most useful when a static build and file-based content workflow fit the project.
