Latest Django Site

June 16, 2008 by Doug Leave a reply »

New Django Site - Image Freelance HairI recently completed a Django-based site for a friend which you can view here.  It’s a simple affair but with some interesting features (its very pink!):

Shop – Plugs into Amazon feed to get products and revenue generation from Associates tag (not quite finished as it needs to be styled better).

Gallery – The front end of this is all MooTools based SmoothGallery2.0 with a nifty backend providing uploading, tagging, etc.  I think the SmoothGallery is great but I can see it struggling with anymore pics in it.

Contact – Simple email on sending.  Also embedded MSN Live maps – it looks so much nicer than Google’s and its easier to use.

XML Sitemap – Using Djangos built-in Sitemap generator.

Blog – Basic blog with the FreeComments plugin.

Some of the pages can be edited much like a CMS.  This is standard in Django when you use something called Flat Pages.

As a first proper released project of Django I’m chuffed.  Its come out nicely and its immensely fast compared to my Rails sites. ;)

I plan on doing a few more in Django before moving onto MERB in the not to distant future.
