Lektor comes with a customizable admin panel that allows anyone to create and edit pages.
The project files are neatly laid out in the filesystem and allow tracking via cloud storage like Dropbox or version control.
Projects can be immediately published to remote servers from the admin panel.
Changes become immediately visible as Lektor rebuilds on demand. A preview is also embedded in the admin interface.
The structure of the pages and the templates used to render the page can be completely customized.
