Build complex publishing workflows with simple, composable parts:

• robust internationalisation (i18n) and multi-site support
• front-end (inline) editing so editors can work directly on rendered pages
• a flexible placeholder and plugin system for reusable content components
• integration with multiple rich-text editors
• content versioning, editorial workflows, and headless setups via official add-on packages
• a hierarchical page tree with SEO-friendly URLs
• extensible navigation and application integration (apphooks)

Developing applications that integrate with and take advantage of django CMS features is easy and well-documented. More information on our website.

The demo platform is kindly provided by Divio, platinum member of the django CMS Association.

Want to get a feel for the editing experience before you install anything? Start with the demo link above.

Create a fully configured django CMS project with a single command:

python -m pip install django-cms
djangocms mysite --interactive
cd mysite
python -m manage runserver

The djangocms command clones the official project template, installs the requirements, runs the migrations and creates a superuser for you. Run it without arguments to be guided through the available options (such as the headless mode) interactively.

Already have a Django project? Run djangocms . in its root directory to add django CMS to it.

Next, follow the official installation guide and tutorials: Installation
