Did you know? django CMS is fully funded by the community

django CMS is a content management system used by thousands of website owners, developers, businesses and content editors. Without the support of our sponsors, partners and users like you, django CMS would not be possible.

django CMS is open source and has no license costs. It relies on users like you to contribute to its development, support and operation.

Thanks to our great team of volunteers and the members of the django CMS Association, the django CMS project can be run. For that, we are forever grateful!
