One common mistake a lot of us make is starting everything from scratch and spending weeks to complete simplest of websites. Most of the clients, don't care if you are using a template or starting from scratch, many also don't even care what technology you use, they just want a website up and running fast.
Starting a Django website from scratch is tedious and time-consuming. This way not only are you losing your time, but it also costs you potential new clients.
To make things easier for Django developers, I have created a reusable open-source Django website template.
