## Notes

Wagtail CRX is an extension package for Wagtail, the Django-based CMS, with pre-built page types, content blocks, navigation and footer settings, and SEO tagging for marketing websites. The project was formerly known as CodeRed CMS. It installs from PyPI with pip, and a project generator creates a site around it. Administration uses Wagtail's admin interface under /admin/, templates use the standard Django template engine, and page content is stored in the site's database.

## Worth knowing

The installation guide describes a local development server, and the Docker how-to installs a WSGI server into the container image for running the site. The [hosting page](https://docs.coderedcorp.com/wagtail-crx/hosting/index.html) says the site can be deployed like any other Wagtail or Django website, and also points to CodeRed Cloud, a hosting service the project's maintainer offers with free and professional plans.
