When I was new to web programming I didn't know which way to to
turn.
I had come from Delphi and really wanted an object oriented approach. I tried Perl with its blessed hashes and then saw PHP was object oriented so I looked at that. Unfortunately php was only partly object oriented and I was not mentally sufficiently rigorous to use it properly. My mistakes lay hidden waiting to bite me. In my opinion you have to be a really brilliant programmer to use php. I'm not and never will be that brilliant so I cannot use php.
Then I found Python and it was perfect. It was originally designed as a teaching language for schoolkids. Just my cup of tea. Easy to learn and built-in guardrails.
Python didn't let me make the sort of mistakes php almost forced on me. It is completely object oriented.
Then I looked for a web framework and back then there were many. I even went out on the Python lists and asked what people thought. There were too many opinions. It would take me forever to learn how to use all these different frameworks just so I could pick one.
I decided to write my own just to teach myself Python.
But I needed a DBMS. MySQL was big at the time and I was actually using it in one application. A friend told it was not the best and I should use PostgreSQL. But because I was starting from scratch I figured I would write a simple text-file backend database until I was ready to decide which way to to turn.
Then the Python community declared Django was going to be its favourite web framework. So I decided on Django. The Django docs seemed to favour PostgreSQL so apart from using Apache because I was already familiar with it, that was all my decisions made.
It took a long time for me to settle and you have apparently come to Django by pure luck :-)
BTW, you probably need to look at javascript or HTMX for updating parts of a page without reloading.
Cheers and welcome!

You should see a REACT tutorial for beginners. React doesn't reload the page.

I have forgotten. REACT can be used with DJANGO (in back) and REACT (in front)
Have a good day,
