Build An Animal Shelter Website with Django for Beginners

Students will learn how to use Django (Python framework), including working with setting up our virtual environment, building our project & app, working with a homepage, details page & search page while learning how to search with queries in Django, base.html, models, migrations & admin, media files, context, conditional statements, tables, using icons with Font Awesome, pagination and a carousel making use of Unsplash!

For the models within Django, we will be using a wide range of fields, such as the choices fields, image fields and date field while also learning about validators for these too.

Along with all of these, we will also be working with Swiper.js, a modern mobile touch slider, to show the animals in a beautiful, user–friendly manner.

We will also utilize some CSS with the Bootstrap framework in order to style and layout the page in a nice, clean and presentable manner.

While this tutorial is for an animal shelter website, I would strongly advise that people who are following along try to change it into something they prefer, like shoes, toys, anime, cars – anything – as it will help cement their learning, and fundamentally this is to get a better understanding of working with Django & Bootstrap and the data itself is inconsequential.
