+
+A Python site generator, often referred to as a "static site generator," is a tool used to create static websites. 
+Unlike dynamic websites that generate content on the server for each visitor, static sites pre-generate all their pages and serve them as-is. 
+
+This approach offers advantages in terms of performance, security, and simplicity.
+
+Static site generators typically work by combining content, often written in markup or a lightweight templating language, with templates to generate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that make up the website. 
+
+Some popular **Python-Based static site generators** include:
+
+## ✅ **Pelican**
