I 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.
