A Django content management system focused on flexibility and user experience

Wagtail CMS

Wagtail is a Django content management system built originally for the Royal College of Art and focused on flexibility and user experience. Its features include:

• A fast, attractive editor interface

• Complete control over design with standard Django templates

• Configure content types through standard Django models

• Tightly integrated search (with an Elasticsearch backend for production)

• Strong document and image management

• Wide support for embedded content

• Simple, configurable permissions

• Support for tree-based content organisation

• Optional preview->submit->approve workflow

• Fast out of the box. Varnish-friendly if you need it

• Tests! But not enough; we’re working hard to improve this

Getting started

• To get you up and running quickly, we’ve provided a demonstration site with all the configuration in place, at github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo; see the README for installation instructions.

• See the Getting Started docs for installation (with the demo app) on a fresh Debian/Ubuntu box with production-ready dependencies, on OS X and on a Vagrant box.

• Serafeim Papastefanos has written a tutorial with all the steps to build a simple Wagtail site from scratch.

Documentation

Available at wagtail.readthedocs.org. and always being updated.

Compatibility

Wagtail supports Django 1.6.2+ on Python 2.6 and 2.7. Django 1.7 and Python 3 support are in progress.
