Re: To Django or not to Django

[Nick Santos]

I'd say the answer depends on your personal capabilities and objectives. "Best" tends to always be relative to what you know and your personal requirements as much as to you specific design requirements. Nothing you've said here sounds like it couldn't be done with a CMS and some plugins, and if you're not a proficient programmer, or you want this set up very quickly, I'd suggest you look there first. If you have a goal of learning new technologies, or you need specific extension points that a CMS can't provide, or if you want the experience to be more tightly integrated than a CMS, then django could be a good option for you.

Hi,
I'm looking to build a contest website where there would be a challenge every so often where people need to post a video or a picture.  Then all users can vote on them, and I can announce a winner.   I would prefer maybe if people not actually upload to my site, but provide a link to youtube, instragram, etc.

My website building experience is limited, but I am a techie, so I could spend some time learning stuff, but my question is, what is the best solution for such site?  Do I need a CMS site, maybe use django CMS, or just django and use many of the available plugins.   Or is there a host that can provide a configurable solution like some have with e-commerce sites?



Help is appreciated.
