What is Wagtail CRX?
CRX, formerly known as CodeRed CMS, provides a large set of enhancements and pre-built components for Wagtail which are ready to use out-of-the box! This saves development time and avoids "re-inventing the wheel" by providing features commonly needed by websites:
-
Streamfield blocks and page templates for Bootstrap 5: rows, columns, hero units, carousels, buttons, modals, cards, and more!
-
Settings for adding logo, navigation, footer, and other common elements.
-
Rich set of SEO tagging attributes on each page.
-
Configurable Google Analytics and other tracking.
-
Robust form builder including the ability for multi-step forms, conditional logic, customized confirmation emails, MailChimp integration, and more.
-
Article pages for building blogs, news, etc.
-
Calendar and event pages.
-
Google Maps blocks, and store locator functionality.
-
Dynamic classifier system, for creating filterable categories.
-
Website search functionality, filterable by page type.
-
Style your site using SASS/SCSS directly from Django, without the need for Node.js
