It sounds like your project is pretty fully featured and if you claim to be "inexperienced" in Django development this much work is pretty impressive on a part-time basis over 6 months!
Currently the Django project I am working on has taken over 2.5 years (and is ongoing). Although we don't just do Django, it's what we do most of the time. Our application has 213 models with 78742 lines of python code. I would estimate (although this is a bit of a guess) that the developer cost for this has been approximately £350k. You might be able to scale that to your workload. Hope that helps, Euan On Jun 21, 10:12 am, ALJ <astley.lejas...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm just starting out with Django so using an hourly rate isn't really > applicable because I'm going to be much slower that a 'real' > developer.
