Introduction to Pycora Pro

Pycora Pro is a premium Python static site generator (SSG) by Axcora Technology. It compiles Markdown and YAML into fast, secure, and immutable static HTML — no Node, no Ruby, just Python.

Pycora Pro ships with a complete Minimalist Bento Grid design system, a YAML-wired CMS, and a pre-configured Decap CMS admin panel — ready to rebrand for client work.
