Wagtail

Wagtail is a modern, open-source content management system (CMS) built on the Django web framework that provides a powerful, user-friendly interface for managing websites and digital content. The CMS features a clean, intuitive admin interface with drag-and-drop page building, inline editing, and rich text editing capabilities that appeal to non-technical content editors. Wagtail uses a StreamField approach allowing editors to construct pages from flexible content blocks including text, images, videos, embeds, and custom components without rigid templates. It provides powerful content modeling with Django models, allowing developers to define custom content types, fields, and relationships that match specific project requirements. Wagtail includes built-in features for multi-site management, workflow approvals, content scheduling, version control, and internationalization. The CMS offers a REST API and GraphQL support for headless CMS implementations, enabling content delivery to mobile apps, IoT devices, and third-party systems. Wagtail is highly extensible with a plugin ecosystem and developer-friendly APIs for creating custom blocks, panels, and functionality. It's used by major organizations including Google, NASA, Mozilla, and the NHS for corporate websites, intranets, and digital publications. The CMS balances editorial user experience with developer flexibility and maintainability.
