Our short course will show you how to create a website with a custom content management system from scratch using Python and the Django framework so that you can let clients control their own content.

As creative people who code, we may have to hand over our sites over to people who don’t code and have no intention to start learning. We may want to hand access over to a client, a co-worker or a family member, for them to add, edit and delete content.

In this course, we’ll use Python with the Django framework to create websites with updatable content management systems that we control, along with admin panels to make it easier for others to change things.

What you’ll learn

  • How to think about going from a static site to a CMS-driven site
  • How to set up an admin panel with user permissions, and how to let admins add other admins
  • Setting up data models that reflect your web designs
  • How to add forms and search to the front-facing website
  • Adding password-protected pages to your site
  • How to let admins upload images that resize automatically to speed up your site!
  • The best practices for deploying brand new site features to the internet and keeping your site secure and fast.
