The Pelican team describe their tool as "a static site generator that requires no database or server-side logic." With Pelican, users can author site content in reStructuredText or Markdown. The tool then produces a set of static pages that can be served from any hosting provider. Users can select from among 127 built-in themes or write their own using the Jinja2 template language. The themes repository (accessed by clicking "Themes" on the page linked above) includes links to demos of most of the available themes. In the "documentation" section of the site, users will find a Quickstart guide that walks through creating a simple site. On that page, the "Publish your site" section describes uploading site content to a hosting provider. Pelican is written in Python and runs anywhere that Python does (Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and others). It can be installed via the Pip package manager following the instructions in the "Installing Pelican" section of the documentation.
