A very major reason on why Wordpress is so widely used, is how easy it is to install on just about anything above a toaster.

Meanwhile, this is how you install Wagtail: http://spapas.github.io/2014/02/13/wagtail-tutorial/

That was a very helpful introduction in Wagtail's early days, but setup and installation has become much simpler since then. For Python developers it's as simple as

  pip install wagtail
  wagtail start mysite

Or you can deploy the demo to Heroku in one click:

That works really nicely, I like the use of vagrant but it does give a hint that there might be rather complex requirements.

On a different note, I saw your Bristol Media post about Django freelancers the other week and have been meaning to get in touch (my current contract ends in a month and a half). Does much of this dev work happen in the Bristol office or is it primarily London-lead?

We're always looking for good Django freelancers, wherever they're based, but particularly in Oxford and Bristol. Email my first name at torchbox.com.
