Wagtail CRX

Extension package for the Wagtail CMS with pre-built page types, content blocks and SEO tagging for marketing websites.

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 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.
