Things to know about this demo site

Welcome to the Wagtail Demo Site!

If you've gotten this far, congratulations - you're running an instance of a killer content management system written for and on top of Django, the framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

What does Wagtail get you that Django alone does not? 

  • Focus on content creators/managers, rather than developers (but developer-friendly!)
  • "Page-centric" content modeling
  • Beautiful, modern, intuitive user interface optimized for content people
  • Super-powerful hierarchical content management ("content trees")
  • User- and group-based permissions system attached to content hierarchies
  • Flexible image resizing with a ton of image display helpers
  • Innovative "StreamFields" as an alternative to traditional "anything goes" rich text fields
  • Intuitive choosers for embedded Pages, Images, Documents and other content
  • Native integration with ElasticSearch to help you build powerful search features
  • Template tags to help create image renditions, smart links, and to navigate content trees
