Pelican is a static site generator. To understand the concept of static websites let's first see how dynamic websites (for example those based on wordpress) work: Dynamic websites are generated again and again for every single user. Once you visit the site, the server reads the actual content (like the content of a news post you want to see) from a database, creates an HTML document from it and returns it to you. When generating the HTML output, it can take into account all kinds of other information, like the current time. Furthermore it can take user input and store it into the database (like comments to a news post). Many websites actually don't need all those options: they should just display the same pages without taking care of other information (like the current time) and don't have any user input. In those cases, dynamic websites are often used anyways - mostly because people are just used to it. Static websites on the contrary are just a bunch of HTML documents that the server sends to the client once they visit the page. The actual content is not stored on the server but somewhere else. Every time that content changes, the website is built again and uploaded to the server. Pelican is a tool for building all the HTML documents that for a website from your content.
