How to structure a very small Django Project?

It is a little oxymoron now that I am making a small Django project that it is hard to decide how to structure such project. Before I will at least will have 10 to 100 apps per project. Now my project is just a website that presents information about a company with no use database, meaning it's really static, with only 10 to 20 pages. Now how do you start, do you create an app for such project.

If you only have static views, you can use the following setup:

  • A settings file
  • urls.py
  • templates/ folder
  • wsgi.py

You can use a TemplateView to direct any url to the appropriate (static) template:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='home.html'), name='home'),
    ...
]

Then point the ROOT_URLCONF setting to your urls.py, and add the templates/ folder to your TEMPLATES setting. Add any other required settings such as SECRET_KEY or ALLOWED_HOSTS, and configure your wsgi.py.

Frankly I won't use Django in that case, I would use Flask for such small projects. it's easy to learn and setup a small website.

PS: I use Flask in small and large apps!

Use nginx to serve static files. Do not use django. You will setup project structure when it will be required.
