Wagtail is an attractive choice for anyone looking for a flexible, user-friendly, secure, and extensible content management system.
Here are some key benefits :
- Flexibility : Wagtail gives easy personalization and extensibility, ensuring it fits every project's specific demands
- Security : Wagtail benefits from Django's high security standards, which is essential for protecting the site against potential vulnerabilities.
- API integrated : Wagtail provides an integrated API (Application Programming Interface), making it easy to connect with other services and applications.
- Performance : Wagtail is designed for performance featuring integrated caching and other optimizations to ensure high website responsiveness.
We can also build websites with WordPress if we believe it's a better fit for your project.

We host websites on our private servers, which offers multiple advantages:
Total control : By hosting websites on our own servers, we have complete control over the hosting environment. This allows for more direct management of resources, security, software updates, and other aspects, including server configuration, database management, security settings, etc.
Optimized performance : Direct server control allows us to optimize performance, guaranteeing maximum website responsiveness, including managing hardware resources.
Technical support : In case of an issue, Kern-IT's technical support teams can intervene faster because they have direct access to the infrastructure. This allows for more efficient diagnostics and resolutions.
Scalability : We can easily scale the websites' infrastructure to handle growing demand. This is crucial for websites that experience significant traffic fluctuations.
If a client chooses to host their own website, we cannot commit to its maintenance and therefore cannot be held responsible in case of issues.

Regular website maintenance is crucial to ensure its stability, security, operational efficiency, and long-term success. It keeps the site updated, functional, and aligned with the changing demands of the online environment.
Security is one of the most critical aspects. Maintenance includes implementing security patches, monitoring for vulnerabilities, and protecting against potential threats.
Regular backups ensure data protection. In case of a major issue, like hardware failure, human error, or an attack, data can be restored from these backups.
Breakdown prevention : proactive maintenance helps us anticipate and fix potential problems before they escalate into major failures, cutting down on unexpected downtime.
Kern-IT provides website maintenance to avoid these issues and allow for greater responsiveness on the project.
Maintenance is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended for a website. If the request is planned, we can also work on a managed services basis at our standard rates.
Without a maintenance contract, our emergency intervention rates are billed 50% higher than our standard rate.
