Thanks for your answer.

I think you misunderstood. Well, first of all, it's more like an online restaurant. Second, it's not going to get launched until next year (there's about a year left). Third, we're starting with a rather small area. The business model is in the works (and it's noting really complicated, to be honest), but I'm only really responsible for the technology part.

The Summer holidays are coming up, so that should give me time to develop the system.

The projects seems to be very exciting and interesting, but a part of me says that maybe going with something simple and pre-baked is the best solution business wise. Right now, I'm looking into some Django e-commerce plugins [0]. I was already thinking into doing Django server-side, and going with Angular on the client. Designing a RESTful API with Django and consuming it with Angular (this seems like a good fit). Then, I could use something like Ionic [1] to make mobile apps, straight from the developed website. This would be "two birds with one stone", since I'm also intending to develop mobile apps. Now this possibly justifies investing extra time and effort (business wise) into developing a solution from scratch.

Thanks for the answer. I've also been looking into some Django plugins [0]. Is that what you mean when you say "use a predefined systeme based on Django for e-shops or AngularJs"?.

I actually already have bookmarked the link you sent me :)

I don't have to support any legacy systems, everything is greenfield. The thing is that I don't have much experience with either one of them (Angular or Django). I do have experience with Python, in fact, it's one of my favorite languages. I also enjoy JavaScript.

Well, in my case I'm really going have to create an online store. The project is something like "Uber For Food". I should have about 3 months for that, that includes time to learn the technologies.

I'm really unsure whether I should go with something "pre-baked"(like WooCommerce) or build something custom. I believe the latter will give me a lot more freedom, but will also potentially cause more problems.
