What is a Wagtail agency?

A Wagtail agency designs, builds and maintains websites on the Wagtail CMS rather than on template-based solutions. At KernWeb, every page template and content block is custom-built, on a clean and maintainable Wagtail architecture.

Why Wagtail over WordPress?

Security, custom code and code ownership. We break down the comparison, criterion by criterion, in our article Wagtail vs WordPress.

Do you work with clients outside Belgium?

Yes. We support organisations in France, Luxembourg, Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe. Projects run remotely; for an EU company, invoicing uses the reverse-charge mechanism.

Do you offer Wagtail migration, hosting and training?

Yes: migration from WordPress or a legacy CMS, managed hosting with security updates, and training so your teams can edit content on their own.

Is Wagtail suitable for a multilingual website?

Yes, multilingual support is native in Wagtail. This very page is an example: it exists in French and English, with the matching hreflang tags.

Is Wagtail accessible (WCAG)?

Yes. Wagtail targets WCAG 2.2 AA and builds accessibility in from the start. We deliver sites that are accessible by default: semantic structure, contrast and keyboard navigation planned up front.

Do you work with public bodies and administrations?

Yes. We build and migrate Wagtail sites for the public sector and French-speaking organisations: local authorities, universities, associations, companies. The French State validated Wagtail with Sites Conformes (DINUM, DSFR design); we bring that expertise to organisations outside French central government.

Why Wagtail

Wagtail is an open source CMS built on Django (Python), the same technical foundation as the business platforms KERN-IT has been building since 2012. It powers organisations that cannot afford to get it wrong.

Google, NASA (JPL), the UK's NHS and the French State run on Wagtail.
Security by design: no pile-up of third-party plugins, a smaller attack surface.
Native multilingual: essential to communicate at European scale.
You own the code: no licence, no dependency on a vendor.
Accessibility built in: Wagtail targets WCAG 2.2 AA, designed in from the start rather than bolted on afterwards.
Scales without pain: from a few pages to thousands, without the growing pains of plugin-based CMSs.
For developers and editors alike: the StreamField interface keeps editing simple, the Django architecture keeps the code solid.

What our Wagtail agency does

Custom Wagtail websites

A unique design and page templates built for your organisation, on a clean, durable Django architecture.

Migration to Wagtail

Coming from WordPress or an ageing CMS? We migrate your content to Wagtail without losing your search rankings.

Hosting, support & training

Managed hosting, security updates, support and training so your teams can edit content on their own.

And also: audit of an existing Wagtail site, custom integrations (CRM, payment, business software), and taking over and maintaining legacy Wagtail projects.

At the heart of Europe

Brussels is the de facto capital of the European Union. Our offices are ten minutes from the European Quarter, at the crossroads of the Belgian, French, Luxembourg and Swiss markets.

The agencies in the Wagtail core team are in the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, the USA and Iceland. KERN-IT brings that Wagtail expertise to the heart of French-speaking Europe: projects run remotely or on site, with intra-EU reverse-charge invoicing for companies outside Belgium.

The largest French-speaking Wagtail reference is the French State itself: DINUM made it the foundation of Sites Conformes (formerly Sites Faciles), the CMS for government websites in the DSFR design: 50 sites live and 30 in preparation at the end of 2025, at a calculated cost of EUR 5,200 per site against EUR 97,000 for a conventional government website (DINUM figures, 4 November 2025). Sites Conformes is reserved for French central government: local authorities, universities, associations and companies that want the same solidity can rely on a French-speaking Wagtail agency. That's what we do.

Ten years of engineering behind every site

KernWeb draws on KERN-IT's track record: 10+ years, 50+ clients and 100+ delivered projects, rated 5 stars on Google. Our team has practised Wagtail since 2016 and maintains a glossary and detailed comparisons about it.

We do not discover Wagtail on your project: it has been our specialty since 2016, and we follow every release (7.4 LTS in May 2026, 8.0 in August 2026). Every site is built 100% custom, no template.
