Django experts: web apps, portals & Wagtail CMS
Django is the batteries-included framework we use to build applications that need to move fast and last: back-offices, authenticated portals, business platforms and content sites. A powerful ORM, an auto-generated admin, a migrations system, built-in authentication and security — everything is there to ship without reinventing the wheel.
At KERN-IT, Django isn't just another technology: it's one of the pillars of our Python stack for over 10 years. Our Wagtail CMS, which powers our clients' websites, is itself built on Django — all our expertise (custom content blocks, publishing workflows, AI integration, automated SEO) flows directly from it.
Our Django platforms run on PostgreSQL, expose APIs with Django REST Framework, handle background tasks with Celery and deploy with Docker. Based in Brussels, we design, take over and evolve Django applications for SMEs and organizations.
What we build with Django
Business web apps
Management platforms, dashboards, internal tools. The data model, business rules and workflows are tailored to your real processes, not the other way around.
Back-offices & portals
Client spaces, partner portals, admin back-offices. Authentication, roles and permissions, filterable interfaces — the Django admin speeds everything up.
CMS & Wagtail sites
Fast, editable content sites built on Wagtail (the Python CMS built on Django). SEO, i18n, deep customization of content blocks.
The strength of Django
ORM & migrations
A mature ORM that covers 95% of database access without SQL, and a reliable migrations system to evolve the schema without breaking production.
Auto-generated admin
A complete admin interface, generated from your models. Your teams manage data from day one, before any custom screens are built.
REST APIs (DRF)
Django REST Framework to expose your data: serialization, pagination, versioning, JWT authentication. The ideal bridge to a React front-end or a mobile app.
Built-in security
CSRF, XSS, SQL injection protections and permission management out of the box. A sound base for applications that handle sensitive data.

Frequently asked questions
Django for complete applications (business, back-office, CMS) that benefit from a ready-made ORM, admin and authentication. FastAPI for high-performance and async microservices. Flask for lightweight, hand-assembled services. We guide you to the right tool for your context — and all three coexist nicely in a single architecture.
Yes. We run Django code audits (quality, security, performance, technical debt), then take over maintenance, refactor or plan a version upgrade. We work on both recent Django and older projects that need modernizing.
Yes — Wagtail is our go-to CMS, and it's built on Django. All our Django expertise applies to it: custom content blocks, publishing workflows, AI integration for content generation and automated SEO. See our dedicated Wagtail development page.
DRF is our tool of choice when the API lives inside an existing Django application (same models, same admin). For a standalone, performance-oriented async API service, we recommend FastAPI instead. Both can sit behind a single authentication layer.
