## Reviews

### "Not for the Faint of Heart but a Rewarding CMS if you put in the work." — 5.0/5

> **Whit** | *29 June 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Wagtail is pretty fun to work in but it takes some getting used to. If you are used to the WYSIWYG cms like Wordpress, there will be a learning curve but it is not insurmountable. Once you learn the system, it provides so much flexibility and opportunities to create dynamic content.
> 
> **Cons**: The most difficult thing about Wagtail is the view on the backend. You really have to get used to collapsing and expanding tabs and knowing where your content is. One thing that is probably really good but I find annoying is that if you are trying to publish content or save a page, you will get an error if a required field is not filled out. Sometimes it can be hard to locate that field.
> 
> We are using Wagtail to implement our new website. We have an agency building out the site and we are creating content on the front end. I am not a developer but can navigate this easily. It is allowing us to create really interesting and dynamic content.
