IMHO, you´re mixing things up here. django helps you with the structure of your app, the database access/ retrieval, the _logic_ of your application. this has nothing to do with UI design. django neither limits nor helps you with actually _designing_ your so-called frontend.
that said, django has some features (like form_for_models) which may help the UI-designer. but that´s an exception and it has no significant impact on the look & feel of your website/app. not many people have the ability to design a UI (html/css/js) and write good/clean code (python/django/js) as well. from my point of view it´s better to decide for what you feel more comfortable with - and then you should look for someone to help you with the other part. a good example are the blogs of people into programming/django/python. almost every blog lacks a good/clean UI design. on the other hand, I often don´t want to see the code behind a "nice looking" website. patrick On 2 Jul., 08:24, Developer_for_food <gphoneads.m...@gmail.com> wrote: > You may have heard my question over and over again, which is a typical > question for someone deciding whether to jump into the water. > > (My background for web development: I wrote HTML/PHP code once (which > was a simple website), and those PHP codes were mainly Mysql access > logic, so I have to say the UI part for my previous work was extremely > limited.
