In your settings.py how did you setup your STATIC_URL and STATIC_FILEDIRS?

Copy paste your settings.py code below STATIC_URL with your DB engine settings. DB looks working fine because your page is showing up so we can use same BASE_DIR conventions for setting up your static.

You need to set your static in settings.py and I am giving you simplest idea you can implement with no issues.

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'static-only')

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'media')

STATICFILES_DIRS = [

       os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'static'),

]

Now in your project source folder create a new folder named 'static' which will refer to values in blue.

In your 'static' in blue folder create subfolders with names 'media', static-only', 'templates' and 'static' again. So hierarchy should look like this:

static

----static

----media

----static-only

----templates

In your settings.py in "TEMPLATE" section find simalr line like below and change it as I did.

'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'templates')],

Now go to your terminal (command shell) and run following command.

./manage.py collectstatic

It will ask you are you sure you want to do this. Type "yes" and press enter.

.manage.py runserver and refresh your page.

You will get all the css loaded.

Furthermore you can create three new folders in your /static/static/. 

static

----static

             |

             -------css

             |

             -------js

             |

             -------images  

----media

----static-only

----templates

In your static/static folder you can keep the project template related css/js/images. All your html based code will go to /static/templates folder. Read the link below thorough and in case of issues you can post another question or to same thread.
