Overview
Turystyka Żak is a Polish travel agency specialising in pilgrimages, sanatorium trips, and group travel (domestic + international). The site is their storefront and their office tool: trips, bookings, customer testimonials, and contact flows all editable in a single Wagtail admin by the two-person team that runs the agency.
Solution
Django backend with a customised Wagtail admin — trip pages, photo galleries, pricing tables, and itineraries all managed through the same panel the owners already knew. Customer testimonials pulled from a dedicated review queue, moderated before publishing. Automatic email alerts fire on every booking enquiry.

Django 4, Wagtail 5 admin, PostgreSQL. Plain HTML/CSS/JS on the front (no SPA) so search engines and slow networks both love it. Email delivery through the VPS's Mailcow.
