Implementing the French Government Design System in Wagtail

[Sites Faciles](https://sites.beta.gouv.fr/) is a project developed by the French government’s digital services suite, aimed at helping public servants quickly create websites using the official [French Government Design System (DSFR)](https://www.systeme-de-design.gouv.fr/), currently used on about 80 websites. The goal: provide an accessible, user-friendly CMS that doesn’t require an internal tech team or costly external contractors for each new website. Wagtail’s StreamFields made it possible to implement more than 40 DSFR components as reusable blocks. But this approach also brought challenges: offering layout templates is not straightforward, and the editing interface can become complex when components themselves are complex. In this talk, Lucie Laporte and Sylvain Boissel—two of the three developers behind Sites Faciles – will share how the project has evolved over the past two years, the lessons learned, and the issues they are now tackling in designing a simpler admin experience.

Creating connections between stories and objects using AI

Museums hold vast collections, but their potential is often locked away in databases or static catalogues. London Mueum are tackling this challenge by transforming their digital presence with Wagtail. In this session, Trish Thomas (Head of Digital, Museum of London) will share lessons from the project: from aligning editorial and technical teams, to using AI to surface connections between stories and objects, to reshaping content strategy for inclusivity and accessibility. This case study will offer practical insights for cultural organisations, content professionals, and developers alike—showing how Wagtail can underpin ambitious digital change while staying flexible for experimentation with new technologies.

Building Better Wagtail Sites: Traits of a Good CMS

What makes a good Wagtail implementation? It’s more than features. It’s about building a system that works for editors, developers, and audiences. A good Wagtail build is intentional: content models are thoughtfully designed, patterns are consistent, and guardrails prevent broken layouts or poor performance. Editors can preview with confidence, developers can make changes without surprises, and every page adheres to design and brand standards by default. In this talk, we’ll look at the fundamentals that distinguish successful Wagtail projects, from thoughtful content modeling to consistency, predictability, and performance. The session will contrast “bad” implementations (StreamField soup, inconsistent labels, confusing flows) with “good” ones that empower editors, reduce developer burden, and stand the test of time. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating their own Wagtail builds and ideas for where to improve them. Whether you’re structuring content models, managing editorial workflows, or planning long-term sustainability, this talk will give you a clearer picture of what separates an average CMS build from a truly good one.

Wagtail Nest: Maintaining Community Packages Together

At Wagtail Space NL 2022, We launched **[**Wagtail Nest**](https://github.com/wagtail-nest)**. It is a community-driven initiative to give third-party Wagtail packages a safe and sustainable home. Many great add-ons risk becoming unmaintained when their original authors step away. Wagtail Nest provides continuity: shared maintenance, regular releases, and a clear path for packages to stay alive and useful. In this talk I’ll share: - The origin story of Wagtail Nest (and why we needed it). - How the platform works today and what packages already live there. - Lessons learned from community-led maintenance. - What’s next: growing the ecosystem together, and how you can get involved. Participants will leave with a clear picture of how Wagtail Nest makes the ecosystem stronger, how they can move their packages into the Nest, and how they can contribute to keeping the Wagtail community vibrant.

Building Flexible Wagtail CMS Experiences for Editors

When Truth Initiative, the nonprofit behind one of the nation’s most recognizable anti-tobacco campaigns, launched a high-stakes health site, speed was critical. They needed to push timely, accurate content without flooding the dev team with tickets—or risking design drift. The solution: A CMS configured to empower editors. By combining StreamFields, snippets, and custom page models, Wagtail gave editors creative freedom while ensuring the design system stayed intact. This talk will explore: - The most common editor pain points in rigid CMS setups—and how Wagtail fixes them. - How reusable content blocks (like FAQs, authors, and CTAs) boosted SEO, efficiency, and credibility. - The balance between editor freedom and design control, and why it matters in mission-critical campaigns. Attendees will learn how to design CMS experiences that turn bottlenecks into autonomy—freeing developers to focus on complex work while editors confidently own publishing. For organizations under pressure to deliver, this approach transforms Wagtail into more than a CMS—it becomes a strategic advantage.

Redesigning and refactoring Wagtail components

Refactoring components can be hard in any CMS framework due to content governance and technical challenges. When a redesign needs a block to have a new required field, drop an existing one, or change its placement, how can we guarantee that content won't be lost and that UI won't be broken? Wagtail stream field's JSON structure poses some challenges if we want to make changes to blocks' structures without having to rebuild existing content. This talk will go over the issues we faced implementing a redesign on a Wagtail site and the lessons we learned from it.

Automated Data Loader: Wagtail for Weather Data Integration

Across Africa, National Meteorological Services operate diverse networks of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS), each with its own proprietary data formats. This fragmentation makes it challenging to ingest, harmonize, and share observation data in real time. The Automated Data Loader (ADL) solves this by using a plugin-based architecture to connect to multiple AWS vendors, standardize their outputs, and automate delivery to systems like the World Meteorological Organisations' global Information System (WIS2), APIs, and national archives. In this talk, we’ll explore: - The data fragmentation problem in African meteorology. - How ADL’s modular plugins handle both data ingestion and data dispatch. - Leveraging Wagtail’s admin for a flexible dashboard without building a public-facing site. - Real-world integrations with FTP, APIs, cloud storage, and databases. Attendees will learn how Wagtail can be used beyond content websites — as a powerful backend framework for complex, domain-specific workflows in data integration and automation. We’ll share lessons from building ADL for African countries, plus insights on designing maintainable plugin systems for long-term sustainability.

Fact checking with Wagtail

Full Fact is a fact checking organisation. This means we fight bad information by checking claims made by politicians, personalities, media outlets and the general public in order to reduce harm and create good information environments. Essentially this means we publish a lot of content on our website - around 10,000 fact checks. In 2025 we transitioned CMS from Django Admin to Wagtail. This talk will go through some of the limitations of Django Admin and how features in Wagtail provided solutions to them. Attendees will learn: - How Wagtail helps websites with large content databases and a fast turnaround for editorial output. - How Snippets help structure websites and provide better user journeys whilst helping website owners manage content and processes robustly. Structure of the talk: Introduction to Full Fact. What is fact checking and what website requirements are there specific to a fact checking organisation? We will talk about: - ClaimReview meta data - Claim sightings and post-fact check corrections - Transparency of process Limitations of Django Admin including: - Publishing bottlenecks in publishing non-standard content - User management - Development bottlenecks Solutions in Wagtail including: - Streamfield blocks for greater flexibility in non-standard content creation. We can give examples of how we built some of these UI components from our Bootstrap pattern library. - User management and moderation processes - How Snippets better refine internal processes and repurpose website content for greater visibility and user journeys for claim sightings and transparency of our own article updates and corrections.

Where next for Wagtail Search?

From the outset, the Wagtail search module has sought to tackle a problem that's largely independent of Wagtail as a CMS: providing full text search for Django models that is easy to configure and works seamlessly across a variety of backends, both in-database and through external services such as Elasticsearch. It's a goal we're still working towards, and in this talk I'll introduce some of the challenges we face: * Building on Django's familiar APIs for filtering and querysets, even when queries aren't using the database * Keeping external data stores in sync with the database, to handle details such as user permissions * Managing backends with widely differing capabilities, that have a habit of being moving targets between releases, and effectively testing across many different configurations * Getting the subtle UX details right to ensure that search works in the way that users expect Finally, I will show how the major redevelopment of the search module happening as part of Wagtail 7.2 aims to tackle these challenges more effectively. Attendees will gain insight into how search works under the hood, and learn how to work with the updated search APIs coming in 7.2.

The Bogotá Digital Library: A Wagtail Success Story

Introduction The Bogotá Digital Library was conceived as an open and collaborative platform to preserve and promote the cultural, historical, and literary heritage of Bogotá. More than a repository, it is a living system where citizens, librarians, and cultural mediators co-create and curate knowledge. To achieve this, we needed a flexible, scalable, and user-centered solution. That is why we built the platform on Wagtail, combining a strategic UX approach with powerful open-source technology. Talk Structure - Introduction: Brief overview of Bogotá’s cultural challenge—how to make history, memory, and literature accessible to everyone in a modern, intuitive way. - Strategic Approach: The methodology behind the project—UX research, user needs, content architecture, and the role of librarians and cultural mediators in shaping the platform. - Technology: Why Wagtail was chosen as the CMS—its flexibility, scalability, editorial experience, and adaptability to future needs. - Implementation: How Wagtail enabled us to integrate multiple sources, unify design, and deliver a seamless experience across devices. - Impact and Results: Key outcomes—citizen engagement, accessibility, editorial efficiency, and how the platform became a reference point for digital transformation in public institutions. Approach to the Subject The talk blends storytelling and practice, moving from Bogotá’s cultural context to the technical and strategic decisions that made the project possible. It is supported with visuals, real examples of the platform, and highlights of the collaboration process. The emphasis is on how Wagtail empowered both the technical team and the editorial team to achieve a shared vision. Takeaways for Attendees - Learn how Wagtail can be applied to large-scale cultural and public sector projects. - Understand the value of combining UX strategy with the flexibility of an open-source CMS. - Gain insights into the process of co-creation between technologists, designers, librarians, and citizens. - Discover practical lessons on scalability, accessibility, and editorial empowerment.

The Impact of A Contribution to Wagtail.

Intro: Open-source software is a perfect example of the power of collective effort. However, with collective effort comes a few problems that people may face, the biggest of which is very often the “How”. “How” to contribute is something that a lot of people are unsure of, and on closer introspection, you can rephrase that problem to a “What”. “What contributions can people make?” There’s an even deeper level to this, and that often is: “What contributions matter?”. Part of why it took me so long to make my very first contribution to open-source was that I felt I didn’t have much I could realistically offer any organization as a beginner. I spent so much time reading other people’s contributions, getting intimidated, because I felt only the huge Pull Requests were the worthwhile ones. Wagtail helped me correct that view. Every contribution matters, and the impact bubbles upward. At the time of my first contribution, I had only written Django code for 2 months (and Python for 3 months). I want to share how enriching the experience has been, watching a randomly picked “good first issue” turn into a series of more advanced contributions, which led to my becoming a Google Summer of Code Contributor for 2 consecutive years (2024 & 2025). People want to make contributions that matter, and might only want to contribute things they feel have impact (or weight). This comes from a place of personal experience, and shared experiences with people. The truth could not be farther from this, and this presentation aims to show you how something as “seemingly” little as a doc fix can have a huge impact on users. Structure: The structure of the presentation would look very closely to this: 1. Types of contributions people could make. With an emphasis on the often ignored ones like “reviews”, “triages”, “translations”, or even to dependencies etc. 2. A spotlight on how certain “seemingly small” contributions have morphed into essential parts of Wagtail. 3. The progression of Wagtail, with an emphasis on how external contributions have shaped things. 4. A brief moment to share my contribution experience from the 2024 GSoC program: on how a prototype for the image block I shared solely for an illustration became the preferred pattern of choice, and eventually led to an RFC that was created (and backed by the core team members) for a rework of the existing image upload/selection flow. Hint: It all started with me playing around with the browser DOM on the Wagtail admin. 5. A call to action on contributing. How I will approach: The presentation will be a mix of statistical data, and references from actual Wagtail community data, e.g Pull requests, issues, discussions, triages, outreach programs, translations, security reports, sub-teams. The idea would be to show, not only speak. And the general idea would be to narrow “big” chunks of contributions into their smallest denominator, painting the progression of small to big. The crux would be drawing personal experiences from what I’ve seen and done so far in my time as a Wagtail contributor. An important mention would be about how the Stimulus package, which has come to be an integral part of Wagtail, came to be of so much use to the CMS. What attendees will learn: Some of the things attendees can expect to learn are: 1. The importance of contributions of all forms, shapes, and sizes. 2. An idea of just how much community work goes on in Wagtail. 3. Some new ways they could contribute that they may not have previously known. 4. Some other parts of Wagtail, e.g dependencies.

[Sympa](https://www.sympa.community/) is an open source mailing-list server, which can be used for discussion or diffusion. Also it means "nice" in French. This is what some of my clients use as a newsletter service. And yes, it's nice. If you can send an email, you can send a newsletter to thousands of people, basically. The package wagtail_newsletter was published right when they asked me to allow them to write their newsletters directly from Wagtail. First I had to write a new "backend" to use Sympa instead of MailChimp. Each tool has a very different "philosophy" so it was an interesting process. Then I took some time to think about the content: what do we want to write in a newsletter? How does it fit with the rest? (That is, where do I put my new Page model? Do I even need one?) And finally I worked on the presentation of content: I had to work with mjml for the first time and think about text alternatives. Wagtail was very helpful on that particular aspect.

Screen readers don’t care how pretty your markup looks, they care about how readable it is. In this interactive talk, we invite attendees to step into the world of assistive tech and guess what common (and uncommon) HTML and ARIA patterns actually sound like when read aloud by screen readers. We’ll kick off with a short intro to how screen readers interpret the accessibility tree, then dive straight into the fun: A live quiz with real code snippets and audio recordings. Participants will hear screen reader output and try to guess the markup behind it. Was it a native HTML element, or a custom ARIA solution? Did it help or hinder understanding? Along the way, we’ll highlight lesser-known ARIA attributes. Can you catch them all? Attendees will learn: How different HTML and ARIA patterns are announced in screen readers When to rely on native semantics vs. adding ARIA Common accessibility myths and mistakes (and how to fix them) How to think more inclusively when writing markup Ideal for developers, testers, and accessibility advocates, this session makes learning about accessibility practical, memorable, and surprisingly fun.

One URL to Rule Them All: Dynamic Landing Pages in Wagtail

Campaigns often require multiple landing pages—one for every platform, channel, or audience. For Truth Initiative, this quickly became unmanageable, forcing editors to maintain dozens of nearly identical pages. We built a dynamic Wagtail landing page that tracks users based on the last URL segment (e.g., `/youtube`, `/facebook`). Ability for A/B testing was also included to help test different features against a percentage of the audience. Editors now manage a single page design for tailoring text, CTAs, and creative assets. This session covers: - The business problem of campaign duplication. - How we used Wagtail to manage user tracking using a single landing page - How A/B testing was implemented for testing different text within the page - The impact: reduced editor workload, faster rollouts, and consistent design across channels.
