All page types and blocks are flexible this way.
Main focus	Django CMS is built to be extended because every page has other requirements. Our focus is on the most flexibility for the developer AND the content manager.	Wagtail was created to offer maximum flexibility for developers and the best possible experience for content editors and creators, with powerful best-in-class core functionality which ranges from integration of ElasticSearch to automatic feature detection for intelligent cropping of photos. Wagtail's editing interface is entirely independent of Django Admin / Grappelli. It has been custom designed for optimal user experience, and it is lightweight, responsive, and fast. Although it will happily power a blog or small website, Wagtail is a compelling choice for large-scale and enterprise projects. It can be used to implement websites of any size, scaling to cope with many thousands of pages (for example http://www.rca.ac.uk, which has over 10,000) and incorporating high end features like native support for automated cache invalidation for frontend caches such as Varnish, Squid, etc.	Redesigned interface on top of Django's admin (all your third-party apps supporting Django admin will still work!) for managing a hierarchical page tree, with page types extendable via core API. Included page types range from simple WYSIWYG pages, to advanced types such as admin user built forms, and shopping categories via Cartridge. Many extras included such as blogging, multi-lingual content, user accounts, tagging, ratings, media library, thumbnailing, and threaded comments. Content can also be edited inline on the site itself.	Being the most flexible CMS system by providing 1. a CMS for managing a tree of pages and 2. providing the basic building blocks to build your own modules such as blogs, articles etc. and being able to reuse CMS content types. Short: Customization, reuse, reuse and reuse.	Django Fiber is a simple, open-source, user-friendly CMS for all your django projects. It complements your project, it doesn't take it over. It allows you to create simple textual, template based pages, add simple content items in pages and views, and adds simple menus that always work. All this can be maintained using a friendly frontend admin interface.		django-widgy is a heterogeneous tree editor for Django that is well-suited for use as a CMS. A heterogeneous tree is a tree where each node can be a different type—just like HTML. Widgy provides the representation for heterogeneous trees as well as an interactive JavaScript editor for them. Widgy supports Django 1.4+. Widgy was originally created for powerful content management, but it can have many different uses. It provides optional integration with Mezzanine using widgy_mezzanine.	High traffic flexible content portals and magazines with API integrations and automated content	Content-rich news websites and magazines, blogs. Can be used for personal pages too though.	Django page CMS focus on Page hierarchy with rich content. It aims to be a building block that integrate into the admin seamlessly and that you can complement with your own Django applications.		Scalability and performance. Starting from small and simple sites up to large content-rich sites. Custom page types give developers the flexibility to create the best possible experience for content managers.		Content editing for web applications					Djedi CMS is a lightweight but yet powerful Django content management system with plugins, inline editing and performance in mind. Easily described as gettext on steroids with revisions and plugins. Supports multilingual and local flavored translations accessible from views and templates.																					Django-cms-light is a multi-site CMS using git repositories to provision its database, stylesheet and all static contents. You don’t have to use any web form and the database is completely volatile. It’s like Pelican or Jekyll had a baby with Django. Django-cms-light is dedicated to all the small websites we never have time to do for our friends, built as a tool to experiment hacking local economy !
