Page Tree​

In SaaS Hammer, we already created some page models in the cms Django app, and the page trees on the live site look like this

/                       index.html (normal Django view)

    blog                BlogPage
        post-page       PostPage

    contact             FormPage

    privacy-policy      StandardPage
    cookies             StandardPage

As you can see, we can use Wagtail and Page models to help us build blog, contact and other pages in quick way.
