A quick introduction to Wagtail, a Django-based Python CMS that gives developers full control over content modeling. Unlike WordPress, Wagtail requires you to define everything from scratch — pages, blog posts, fields — making it highly customizable. The walkthrough covers installation with pip or UV, project setup, running migrations, creating a superuser, defining page models with RichTextField and StreamField, building a blog index and blog post app, using snippets for authors with many-to-many relationships, and adding code blocks with syntax highlighting via Prism. Ends with a demo of an official Wagtail news site template.
