Do you see real economic opportunities in the Django-CMS space that will lead to people investing effort in it and improving it to the point where it is an option for the kind of people who use Wordpress?
- DanieleProcida 10y agoAt the moment, the WordPress market economy is based largely on small margins over very large quantities. django CMS definitely isn't in that space, or even aiming for it, right now. In the meantime though, we know that django CMS is a serious choice of Python/Django agencies and large corporations and other organisations. You can see django CMS mentioned in job advertisements on a regular basis. A surprising number of large corporate websites use django CMS. There are numerous businesses in Europe and the USA that are django CMS specialists, building websites including CMS components for their clients, all based on django CMS. django CMS is a free open-source product, but has paid developers working on it full-time. Finally, it's sufficiently well-known and well-used to warrant the creation of Aldryn, a cloud deployment platform that was built around serving django CMS (even if now it also serves Django more widely). Again, it's not the scale of economy that exists around WordPress (but then what is?), and there are many things that we hope will grow over the next few years, such as a thriving marketplace of not just free open-source but also paid-for addon applications, and even competitors to Aldryn. So the answer is yes, in a word.
