Django is a web application framework written in Python. Django focuses on clean design, security, and scaleability. Applications written in Django can go easily from a single user to thousands with very little change. Django automates a lot of the software development process, including making database access vastly easier; this allows applications written in Django to be written much more quickly with less code than other frameworks. This increase in efficiency is passed on to clients as lower cost of development, but perhaps even more significantly, much easier and cheaper maintenance.
With Django applications, we use the PostegreSQL database server. PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source relational database system with features that rival or surpass those found in many commercial database systems.
Frequently we deploy Django applications as an entire operating system packaged for the free VMWare server. This allows us to tightly control the application environment and make sure that it doesn't interfere with the existing environment in any way. This again allows much easier maintenance and lower costs.
