The project files are neatly laid out in the filesystem and allow tracking via cloud storage like Dropbox or version control.

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.
