What is Wagtail?

The scalable CMS chosen by Google, NASA, NHS, and hundreds of other companies that need results.

Wagtail CMS was born out of genuine frustration: agencies delivering technically perfect websites that clients didn't know how to use. The result was always the same: outdated content, endless support tickets, and dissatisfied clients due to a lack of editorial control .

That's why Wagtail was designed in reverse: first the editor's experience with intuitive workflows , then everything else. And it worked. Today it's used by everyone from startups to giants like NASA, Oxfam, Mozilla, Google, MIT, and the UK's National Health Service.

At Mecexis, we've been developing with the Django backend for over a decade, the framework upon which this Django-based CMS is built. This combination allows us to deliver projects that not only work on launch day, but continue to function months and years later, because the client can manage them independently thanks to advanced content management .

Main advantages

Every technology decision has a direct impact on your business. Here's why Wagtail CMS delivers results where other CMSs create problems.

  • Editorial control that drastically reduces maintenance costs

    Wagtail's admin panel is designed for everyday users, not techies. Your editors can create pages, update content, and manage images with complete editorial control without specialized training. The result: fewer support tickets, less reliance on developers, and a marketing team that can finally move at the speed it needs.

  • StreamField: managing complex content without chaos

    The StreamField system allows editors to build pages by combining predefined blocks: text, images, videos, forms, testimonials, and more. It's like having a Notion or Canva platform integrated into your website for managing complex content , while maintaining brand consistency. Say goodbye to designs ruined by editors who "only wanted to change one thing."

  • Scalable CMS with enterprise security and no licensing costs

    Built on the Django backend , Wagtail CMS inherits the most secure framework in the Python ecosystem. It offers protection against the most common vulnerabilities, regular security updates, and an active community that quickly detects and fixes issues. All this without the five-figure licensing fees of proprietary CMS platforms.

  • SEO That Actually Works

    Wagtail CMS includes SEO tools that guide editors while writing: fields for meta descriptions, URL control, automatic sitemaps, structured data... In addition, its image system automatically generates the optimal sizes for each device, improving loading speed and, consequently, Google ranking.

  • Advanced content management for media and documents

    Thousands of unorganized images? Documents impossible to find? Wagtail's media manager includes collection organization, advanced search, smart cropping with focal point detection, and automatic conversion to modern formats like WebP. Your media library will finally make sense with this scalable CMS .

  • Multilingual without Multiplying Costs

    A single Wagtail can manage multiple languages ​​and multiple sites. Perfect for businesses with an international presence that don't want to maintain (and pay for) separate installations for each market. Integrated translation workflows keep everything synchronized without duplicating work.

Ideal use cases

Wagtail CMS: the solution for managing complex content

  • Corporate websites with marketing teams that need editorial control and autonomy
  • Content portals with frequent publishing workflows and multiple editors
  • Institutional websites with accessibility and compliance requirements
  • International companies that need advanced multilingual content management
  • Projects that require integration with CRM, ERP, or other platforms

Technical Specifications

Behind the editor's simplicity lies a robust technical architecture of a Django-based CMS . These are the capabilities that allow Wagtail CMS to adapt to any requirement without compromising the user experience.

  • Headless API: Integration with systems and omnichannel

    Wagtail exposes all its content via REST APIs or GraphQL, facilitating integration with external systems . This means the same content can power your website, mobile app, in-store displays, or any other channel. A single editorial team with centralized editorial control and multiple customer touchpoints.

  • Custom Page Templates with Django Backend

    Each page type is defined as a template in the Django backend with specific fields. Do you need product pages with technical specifications? Team profiles with social media links? Landing pages with conversion blocks? Everything adapts precisely to your business needs with this scalable CMS .

  • Workflows and approval permissions

    Define who can edit what, in which sections of the site, and what reviews the content must pass before being published. Workflows are essential for organizations with compliance requirements or distributed teams where not everyone should be able to publish directly.

  • Professional Search with Elasticsearch

    For sites with hundreds or thousands of pages, Wagtail CMS integrates with Elasticsearch to deliver instant and relevant search results. Integration with indexing systems is automatic and configurable: you decide which content carries the most weight in the results.

  • Snippets: managing reusable complex content

    Testimonials, team members, featured products, CTAs... Snippets allow you to manage complex content that's defined once and used across multiple pages. When you update a snippet, it updates everywhere. No more inconsistencies and duplicate content.

  • Limitless Extensibility

    Hooks, signals, and an extensible Django backend architecture allow you to add any functionality without modifying Wagtail's codebase. Updates to this Django-based CMS will never break your customizations.

Wagtail CMS experts with over a decade of experience in Django

Wagtail is a powerful tool, but like any tool, the result depends on who uses it. This is what makes the difference when you work with us.

1

Complete mastery of the Django + Wagtail backend stack

We don't just install Wagtail CMS : we extend, optimize, and customize it. Our more than 10 years of experience with the Django backend means we understand this Django-based CMS inside and out. When a requirement arises that Wagtail doesn't cover out of the box, we develop it. No excuses, no "it can't be done."

2

Obsession with editorial control and the editor's experience

We measure a project's success by what happens after delivery. Does the client have editorial control to update content without contacting us? Has the marketing team stopped submitting tickets? We configure each advanced content management panel with the daily user in mind, not to showcase features no one needs.

3

Trauma-free migration

Are you coming from WordPress, Drupal, or a proprietary CMS that's become too limited? We have proven experience migrating to Wagtail CMS while preserving your SEO ranking, content, and URLs. Switching to a scalable CMS doesn't have to be a leap of faith.

4

Integration with systems that actually works

Wagtail rarely works alone. System integration is key: we connect with your CRM, your ERP, your email marketing platform, your corporate authentication system... We create robust integrations with the Django backend that automate processes and keep data synchronized. Less manual work, fewer errors, more time for what matters.
