Is it possible to create website like Squarespace or Wix in django?

[Kakar]

Hello everyone! I am really a newbie in the django world, and it might be to much to ask now this question, but am just curious. So, is it possible to make websites like Squarespace or wix where the user can itself choose the template or customize it later on, and also that a programmer can change the the css too. Please comment your views. Thanks.

I don't think there's any kind of site you *can't* make with Django. It's a Web framework, not a CMS.

It's definitely possible (and trivial) to offer a wide variety of templates. It's also possible to allow a user to customize and save a template, but that comes with a whole host of security risks you'll have to consider.

The CSS is a slightly different matter, as Django is not in the business of serving static content. However, if you're already customizing HTML templates you can customize some CSS there. For that matter, you could allow them to change the CSS link in the template to one of many choices you provide, or to their own server/CDN. Again, that's probably a bad idea for various security reasons, although technically possible.
