Welcome to Django, just a comment that you quoted might be overly
optimistic. In my experience simple semi static sites are easy to nail
within the time frame but as complexity rises code hours can and DO quickly
grow. The nature of Django lends itself to tweaking/improving so do not be
surprised if your go over your estimates because you want a sharp polished
product.
I would be very curious to see what it actually took you and what the final
project is; so please come back and tell us when its done.

Subject: Developing first Django Site -- any advice on co-developing
effectively with a professional?
Dear Django community,
I'm excited to develop my first site in Django and am trying
understand the best way to approach things. I don't have a strong
coding background, but I'm comfortable with the tutorial, ~3 hours of
screencasts, and "Beginning Django E-Commerce" by James McGaw.
Designed the database and coded the model layer myself... hiring a
designer for the front-end work, and hiring a django developer to co-
develop via github. Worked out the development roadmap and features
needed for launch (below).
My goal is to develop 30-50% myself with feedback/review from the
professional, with them coding the rest and me learning from their
code. Has anyone tried something similar before? Any concerns or
advice on partnering effectively?
Our feature list is below, with hourly estimates from the developer.
I've starred those I'm aspiring to code myself.
Also interested in whether we can leverage existing code/libraries to
solve some of these challenges. Thanks!!
