Getting Started with Django
For newcomers, Django is a high-level Python web framework designed to accelerate the development of secure and maintainable websites. It follows the model-template-view architectural pattern, promoting clean design and the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.
Django's ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) allows developers to interact with databases using Python code instead of raw SQL, enhancing productivity and reducing the risk of SQL injection attacks. The framework includes a comprehensive set of tools and libraries out of the box, including an admin interface, authentication system, and form handling.
This "batteries included" approach enables rapid development without sacrificing scalability or performance. Django's emphasis on reusable components and its extensive ecosystem of third-party packages make it suitable for projects of any scale, from small web applications to large-scale enterprise solutions.

Thanks heaps! Curation of such features is a huge gift to the community.
It would be even better, for me at least, if the curation included clarity around two open questions:
Ease of applying a given template to an existing Django website. Oft times I find there are heaps of tips and good guides on starting from scratch, and little to no help on grafting onto an existing site.
The nuances of cost. There are four distinct cost models out there:
Here I concern myself with the distinction between 1 and 2, Free and Freemium. Primarily because Freemium implies by its nature that there are features we may well want in future that have a paywall. Which is only an issue with me (and my ilk) because the only Django sites I develop, maintain, and host are all community services, produce a revue of precisely $0 and hence have a capital budget of about $0 too. Small fees are not out of the question if they are Purchase fees, but Leases lose appeal fast. Either way the nuance of pricing here is a huge decision influence.
And I raise that primarily because when I click the links you provided they all go to appseed.us which sports a Pro Version link in the top menu and when I click them I'm rapidly lost in reading lots of stuff. To wit, even better curation covers this ground for me up front I guess.
Anyhow, not a complaint, far from it. Top work, and great list, thank you immensely. Just musings on how to make it even better if you care to.
Hello @thumbone !
Ty for your feedback. With your permission I will say a few words regarding your remarks.
All free versions provided by AppSeed are released under the MIT License. Basically anyone can use the code for unlimited hobby & commercial products.
Regarding Q1: we are working to provide a
theme-able
installation on legacy products. We have a pilot project over a Django Admin Theme: Django BlackOther aspects free products:

Thanks! I'm on Discord. And I'm still a ways off skinning the site I'm developing (still working on backend data integrity) but in time, I hope to skin it elegantly and offer different themes (which is not too hard to with Django - for exmaple the vanilla skin (the crass simple developers default skin) a default skin and possibly different contrast skins (dark and red/green colorblind are common targets).
I wonder though if you can clarify "The PRO version is something that we provide extra based on the superior UI" ...
PRO version comes with a premium UI Kit (more pages & components).
Let me know the precise UI requirements for your project(s).
We have also a
Jinja
version for all themes that probably are easier to integrate.ππ
But what are pages? I''m curious. How could they be limited? Django provides routes (urls) mapped to views which load templates. To an end users each unique route resembles a page. But I'm not sure what you mean by "more pages".
More
pre-built
pages and components. I mean the UI kit provided with aPRO
version comes with more pages & components.There is no limitation in the Django codebase regarding this.

Thanks for sharing!
My vote goes for Soft UI.
ππ - Great product.
Pixel looks great!
