Wagtail CMS - Making Django More User (and Developer) Friendly
summary
Wagtail layers a CMS on Django and demonstrates concrete steps: pip install wagtail, wagtail start, migrate, and a generated home app with a HomePage model. Using a rich text field plus content_panels yields a WYSIWYG admin; the naming convention ending in Page removes manual views and urls. Use get_children with .live().order_by('-first_published_at') and the page.url tag to list and link posts. A working blog with drag-and-drop ordering and a navbar is built in minutes.
