Glad to see I'm on the right track :) I spent too long figuring out that WordPress and Drupal are terrible, and then it took a while for me to find Django. Very little written out there about using Django to build brochureware.
If you don't mind me asking, could you write up a list of all the django apps and python packages that help the most in your projects? I'm new to the ecosystem and picking it up as fast as I can but there's only so many hours in the day. Obviously, I've chosen to do this live in the middle of a contract so it's sorta eating me alive.
Also, I'll take this chance make my short pitch: If you're ever looking for some extra hands on a project, I'm currently looking for freelance work. I do full stack. New to django, but very experienced with MVC frameworks and I'm quite excellent with frontend javascript. I can even hold my own when it comes to design and selecting stock photos :) [email protected]
The job of a client-facing CMS is NOT to be a flexible general purpose web editor - it's to allow the client to edit their content and enforcing enough constraints that it's hard for them to ruin their nice shiny new web site. :) (if any of my clients are reading - I know you would never do such a thing)
