## What is Wagtail CRX?
CRX, formerly known as CodeRed CMS, provides a large set of enhancements and
pre-built components for Wagtail which are ready to use out-of-the box! This
saves development time and avoids "re-inventing the wheel" by providing features
commonly needed by websites:
* Streamfield blocks and page templates for Bootstrap 5: rows, columns, hero
units, carousels, buttons, modals, cards, and more!
* Settings for adding logo, navigation, footer, and other common elements.
* Rich set of SEO tagging attributes on each page.
* Configurable Google Analytics and other tracking.
* Robust form builder including the ability for multi-step forms, conditional
logic, customized confirmation emails, MailChimp integration, and more.
* Article pages for building blogs, news, etc.
* Calendar and event pages.
* Google Maps blocks, and store locator functionality.
* Dynamic classifier system, for creating filterable categories.
* Website search functionality, filterable by page type.
* Style your site using SASS/SCSS directly from Django, without the need for
Node.js
## Quick start
1. Run `pip install coderedcms`
2. Run `coderedcms start mysite --sitename "My Company Inc." --domain www.example.com`
*Note: `--sitename` and `--domain` are optional to pre-populate settings of your website.*
3. Enter the project `cd mysite/`
4. Run `python manage.py migrate` to create the core models.
5. Run `python manage.py createsuperuser` to create the initial admin user.
6. Run `python manage.py runserver` to launch the development server, and go to `http://localhost:8000` in your browser, or `http://localhost:8000/admin/` to log in with your admin account.
