Making the websites look more professional and pleasure for viewers and users. The data storing and data extracting abilities of this are amazing and very helpful in classification od content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default menu arrangement is quite complex and not well arranged. Also sometimes bugs have also been experienced whenusing the software. This are making the workflow slow and laggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a content manager, I find using Wagtail simple. I like that it’s fast, and you can create and manage workflows. The CMS enables high performance for our website, which has a lot of pages. Another great thing is that the tool works well on mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are limits for non-developers. I couldn't find ready-to-use templates to build pages without the help of the technical team. That's perhaps the main disadvantage for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what the upsides of wagtail are that it is flexible, you can do customizations and that it has a security feature that protects against common attacks. and there are no licensing fees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

that it is limited to python programming language and that a developer is needed to maintain the website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wagtail is great because it doesn't have the bloat and clunkiness of some of the alternatives. The Django core makes it a pleasure to use and build sites.

I really like the way data is stored in the database and just how customisable the whole package is, especially with Snippets and Streamfields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are only 2 downsides coming from a WordPress background:

1) There is no easy solution to creating and managing menus. Of course, there are packages to help and perhaps eventually this will be addressed in the Wagtail's core

2) Hosting a Python application is not as straightforward (or cheap!) as hosting a PHP application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so intuitive and user-friendly. We used it for our blog and every staff member grasped it straight away. It has helped us take our website to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've not got much to complain about; probably the only thing is that the interface could be made a little bit quicker to navigate, not that it's laid out badly, but sometimes I find myself doing something in five clicks that could maybe be done in three. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wagtail has allowed us to add components and pages to our business website that will interface with our custom products in a way other services like WordPress and Shopify just cannot. The page builder tools are straightforward and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve and without a developer, this would be a difficult tool to use. That said, once you know your way around, it's great. I also dislike the fact that sometimes I don't have options for some types of content blocks that I do have for others, mostly with regards to text formatting and layout.

Just a quick overview. I have worked for years with other CMS's based on PHP, Java, and Django. Wagtail is the only CMS that I would recommend, and here is why:

- anything you can do in Django, you can do in Wagtail, and more

- if you have non-technical web content editors, then the Wagtail interface makes it easy for them to do their work in a beautiful and simple interface. Trust me, we have built many websites and provided zero training to web content editors, and they were just able to pick it up right away

- you can use it as a headless CMS to store all your content and use any front-end framework

- some of the old complaints here on documentation have already been addressed a long time ago. There is more robust documentation available for folks and a healthy StackOverflow community

- as long as you understand the idea that Wagtail if a super solid and beautiful framework that you can build anything upon, you will be happy. The key is you have to make it. It doesn't come with a lot of fluff pre-built, and that is what I, as a developer, truly enjoy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dislikes are few to none, but if I had to pick a few:

- not strictly Wagtail but also Django-related is hosting. You can't easily find a fully managed $5/mo hosting platform like some other PHP frameworks. You would have to program the platform on your own or use some pre-built packages. The cheapest I was able to find was $10/month on Divio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple, intuitive user interface is refreshing. As a non-developer Wagtail user, I find it really easy to navigate and manage website updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the user interface is intuitive and straightforward, I think it could do with a refresh. There are some really slick-looking CMS around that might not be as good functionally, but they look fab, which is sometimes more of a drawcard than it should be for clients.

- Easy to use for both developers and non-technical users alike

- Lots of built-in features making it relatively simple to build complex sites

- Highly customisable, so if any features you'd like aren't already included they can generally be added without too much difficulty

- Very detailed documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Limited frontend features compared to some other CMSs, although this is perhaps to be expected as Wagtail is a Django-based CMS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
