Check out as many 'pluggables' as possible, but since you're coding, feel free to code yourself, and see how you compare. Also check out Pinax, if you're implementing any of the functionality that it brings as a base, and you can build on top of that. The look/feel is "no biggie". Django's template system, and it's inheritance, makes doing that sort of thing super easy. I'm sure others will have more to say than me. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Well...yes, in my experience it is easy to add CSS later to change the site. Just sprinkle in some classes and ids in your HTML templates so you can easily style things later. > 3.

Django development approach
I've spent some time getting comfortable with Django. I would like to try writing my first real app. I'd like to know whether I should go ahead to write everything from scratch, or whether... 1. Using pluggables can be easily integrated into an existing app 2. Whether it will be easy to change the look and feel (with CSS) afterwards. I want to concentrate on functionality right now. 3. Models, urls, views, forms and templates should be created as needed manually - and whether using a CMS would make this task easier.
