Impressive and it more than does satisfy my curiosity; in this industry
I find the moment you start doing custom code it's hard to estimate -
especially on the larger projects. Super thanks

Sure - I've no problem sharing!
The majority of the work went into building the billing system,
customer control panel, integrating into our interconnect providers
API, storing CDRs, call rate groups etc - this was around 80-100 hours.
However the front end (which you can see) took around 40-50 hours -
all content is generated from an inventory database which maintains
the costs for line items (such as extensions), call rates, handsets
and package costs, this means no template changes are required if
there is a pricing change.
The handsets page was done from scratch (although the content was
copied) - which took a total of approx 5 hours. This involved finding
good high res/clear pictures of each handset, and doing custom slicing
for each one - so you have that nice zoom effect when you view the
item. It could be made better with animation, but it's a good start.
There is also a nice little rates look up tool which is able to do
partial prefix matching, and a markup system which lets you apply
global markup rates, and individual rate markups (this means you don't
have to spend 937549554 hours manually maintaining rates tables - very
handy) - that took about 5 hours to get completely integrated.
I should also note that we have lots of existing code snippets and
libraries that we'd collected and tweaked over the years, so we saved
about 30 hours in re-using code.
I'll probably do a full write up sometime during the year and go into
more detail, but hope this satisfies curiosity!

Hi Cal, thank you for sharing and congratulations, I do something
very similar on my sites but call it a credits page - it is a
great place to be putting SEO backlinks. On related note would you
be willing to share total turn around time / hour spent for the
site you launched ? And would you classify the project as small,
medium, or large.

Hi all,
Last week we released a new site into the wild - sadly I haven't
had much time to contribute to tickets, or even support on the
mailing list - so felt it was about time I started showing our
appreciation for Django and its community.
Therefore we created an acknowledgements section on the site -
with the following:
---
Django Framework is a high-level Python Web framework that
encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. With
highly skilled core developers, an amazing community of
contributors, and more features than you can shake a stick at -
Django makes the impossible, possible.
We cannot stress enough how thankful we are to everyone involved
with the on-going development and support of Django Framework -
we would not be here if it wasn't for the hard work put in by the
community.
---
We also added a little bit on Roberto at uWSGI, as he's really
doing a great job:
---
uWSGI is a high performance web application server that really is
a work of art. Our thanks and appreciation goes out to Roberto at
unbit.it <http://unbit.it> for single-handedly keeping the
project alive and kicking - and for providing emergency support
in our times of need.
---
I wanted to be a bit more creative and make something really
special, like a hand drawn picture of our logo, a heart and the
Django/uwsgi logo - but sadly ran out of time at the weekend
:/ I'm going to see about getting this same thing done on all our
client sites too, but need to wait for approval.
Either way - I think it would be great to see more people doing
the same thing.
