Accessibility can't be stressed enough. I have worked with many big companies that want a small project/initiative for their users.
They always want these things, at minimum:
* Data security/compliance (GDPR, CCPA)
* Accessibility (WCAG 2.1)
As much as my team would love to just make every app in React or whatever. I always just say:
No. They want a CMS. Just make it with Django and Bootstrap. Then we'll be done with it in a couple weeks and you can all go back to your own stuff..
Django + Bootstrap gets us an incredible amount of accessibility just right now of the box. Invaluable for small development shops!
- raihansaputra 6y agoDo you use the Django apps for Bootstrap or include it on your own? How do you do the Django form <-> Bootstrap integration?
- PascLeRasc 6y agoI'm not who you asked, but I've done it previously just calling the Bootstrap CDN within Django, and it was super simple. This was years ago, but I have this tutorial bookmarked from back then: https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/css/ https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/css/
- raihansaputra 6y agoYep, manually calling the CDN is the simplest way, but I remembered that sometimes a lot of adjustments needed to be made to the forms and every form would need to be manually coded, or use one of the Django app to automate that.

- darekkay 6y agoJust keep in mind that Bootstrap ist not fully accessible by default on purpose [1]. I really hope this changes in v5, because accessibility shouldn't be opt-in.

- rs999gti 6y ago> Django + Bootstrap Does the language of the CMS matter? Django is Python, but we are a .NET shop. Would Django still work for us or should we look into a CMS like Orchard or Umbraco?
