Show me another CMS that offers:&lt;p&gt;- Static HTML export with elegant dependency tracking by design (reducing attack vectors and maintenance cost on the frontend server)&lt;p&gt;- Admin interface (I can&amp;#x27;t tell a non-techie to connect via SSH, fire up vi and run Jekyll)&lt;p&gt;- Flexible content structure (Title&amp;#x2F;Author&amp;#x2F;Content doesn&amp;#x27;t really scale beyond a simple blog)&lt;p&gt;- Elegant design and implementation (I could do anything with WordPress and half a dozen plugins, but I fail to even find a bare-bones theme without kilobytes of code that I will never need; the whole ecosystem revolves around the novice user who understandably prefers &amp;quot;quick and dirty&amp;quot; over touching code)&lt;p&gt;I have been looking for a CMS that fulfills these exact criteria for quite some time. Lektor looks ideal for projects where the developer prepares a non-trivial page structure (think book listings, music albums, anything that goes beyond &lt;i&gt;bold&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;italic&lt;/i&gt;), but the client should be able to edit content.

However programmers typically end up just making the static site generator which is why there was nothing like Lektor before (to the best of my knowledge at least).</text></comment>
