## What it is
django CMS is a lean, open-source enterprise content management system built on the Django web framework, published as the django-cms package on PyPI. It offers inline front-end editing, drag-and-drop page building, a placeholder/plugin architecture, multilingual and multi-site support, and versioning via official add-on packages.

## Use cases
- build a corporate or enterprise website with a python cms
- add a cms to an existing django project
- manage multilingual website content with inline editing
- let non-technical editors build pages with drag and drop
- run a multi-site content platform on django
- serve cms content headlessly via a rest api
- create reusable content plugins for a django site

## When to choose
- your team already uses Django or Python and needs editorial tooling
- you need fine-grained permissions, multi-language, and multi-site support
- you want a highly extensible, developer-friendly CMS with a plugin ecosystem
- you need enterprise content workflows like versioning and moderation

## When to avoid
- you want a zero-code, plug-and-play blog like WordPress for non-developers
- your stack is PHP-based (Drupal, Joomla) rather than Python
- you need a fully headless-first CMS with no Django dependency
- you prefer a minimal static site generator over a dynamic CMS
