Mezzanine is an open-source content management platform built on the Django framework, offering an integrated, extensible alternative to WordPress-style CMSs. It ships with blogging, hierarchical pages, forms builder, search, and e-commerce (via Cartridge) out of the box.

Use cases

• build a blog with django
• self-hosted cms for a small business site
• manage hierarchical pages with drag-and-drop ordering
• build a site with a forms builder and csv export
• run a multi-lingual content site
• add an online store with a django shopping cart
• migrate from wordpress to a python cms

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included Django CMS with most features built in
• you need blogging, pages, forms, and search without assembling many apps
• you want an extensible Python codebase you can customize directly
• you need multi-lingual content and scheduled publishing

When to avoid

• you need a headless or API-first CMS
• you prefer a plugin/module ecosystem like WordPress
• your project is not Django-based
• you need cutting-edge frontend tooling or a decoupled architecture
