Wagtail is a Django content management system built originally for the `Royal College of Art <http://www.rca.ac.uk/>`_ and focused on flexibility and user experience. Its features include:
* A fast, attractive editor interface
* Complete control over design with standard Django templates
* Configure content types through standard Django models
* Tightly integrated search (with an `Elasticsearch <http://www.elasticsearch.org/>`_ backend for production)
* To get you up and running quickly, we've provided a demonstration site with all the configuration in place, at `github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo <https://github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo/>`_; see the `README <https://github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo/blob/master/README.md>`_ for installation instructions.
* See the `Getting Started <http://wagtail.readthedocs.org/en/latest/gettingstarted.html#getting-started>`_ docs for installation (with the demo app) on a fresh Debian/Ubuntu box with production-ready dependencies, on OS X and on a Vagrant box.
*`Serafeim Papastefanos <https://github.com/spapas>`_ has written a `tutorial <http://spapas.github.io/2014/02/13/wagtail-tutorial/>`_ with all the steps to build a simple Wagtail site from scratch.
