  • Wagtail

    A Django content management system focused on flexibility and user experience

  • I use Wagtail. An open source CMS built on Django. It's easy to create custom page types with custom fields. It's streamfield field type is similar to Craft CMS's matrix fields - it's an alternative to richtext fields, i.e. you build your content from blocks of different content types. I think this approach is better than Gutenberg. Gutenberg allows too much freedom for the editor to mess up the page. What I like about Wagtail is you have complete control over the HTML. You're given a model and it's your job to wrap markup around it.

  • ProcessWire

    Our repository has moved to https://github.com/processwire – please head there for the latest version. (by ryancramerdesign)

  • I use ProcessWire for this kind of site; clients have always been super happy with it. If anything it's more intuitive than WordPress for the client -- all content is laid out in a tree view for them.
