Lektor is a static site generator: it generates a "compiled" version of the site that is uploaded to a simple web server, without any server-side scripts running. If you want to edit something, you run it locally, make your changes, generate new files and copy those to the web server.

The key addition is that there is a nice UI for adding content in the system running locally, so it can be used by less technical users that might not feel comfortable with writing in text files with special tags/metadata, as traditional static generators require.
