Django development is the design, build, upgrade and support of web applications on the Django Python framework, such as content-heavy sites, admin back offices, data portals, REST APIs, marketplaces and healthcare or public-sector apps. SynconAI builds new Django applications, takes over existing ones, moves them to a supported Django LTS and Python release, and supplies Django engineers who join client teams, for organizations in the United States, Australia and worldwide. - Django is an open-source Python web framework with an ORM, an admin site, forms and security features built in. - Django 5.2 is the current long-term support (LTS) release, supported to April 2028. Django 4.2 LTS ended in April 2026. - It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation and used for content sites, data portals, marketplaces and public-sector apps. ## Django development services - New Django applications: Portals, marketplaces and data apps built from a written design. - REST APIs: Django REST Framework APIs for web, mobile and partner apps. - Admin back offices: Django admin set up so staff manage data without a developer. - Content sites on Wagtail: Editor-friendly Wagtail sites on top of Django. - Django upgrades: Django 3.2 or 4.2 moved to 5.2 LTS or 6.1, with Python upgraded too. - Background jobs and performance: Celery tasks, slow queries and caching tuned for real load. - Salesforce integration: Django apps that sync records through Salesforce APIs. - Team extension: Django engineers who work in your repos, rituals and tools. ## Where are you with Django? Question: What state is your Django application in today? - Not built yet: A new Django build. You need a portal, API or content site and want it on a supported Django and Python. - Data model agreed before code - Django 5.2 LTS or 6.1 chosen for fit - pytest-django from the first sprint - Built by a team that left: Taking over an application. A Django app runs your service and the people who built it have moved on. - Code, migrations and hosting review first - Deploy and Celery jobs written down - Fixes ranked by risk - On an old Django: Upgrading or modernizing. It works, but runs on Django 3.2 or 4.2, or on 1.x or 2.x with old Python. - Packages checked for each release - One LTS at a time, with tests - Python upgraded in the same plan Outcome: A Django application on a supported LTS, with tests, documentation and a team that can run it ## What do our Django development services include? One team for the site, the admin behind it and the upgrades that keep it supported. - New Django applications: Portals, marketplaces and data apps built from a written design. - REST APIs: Django REST Framework APIs for web, mobile and partner apps. - Admin back offices: Django admin set up so staff manage data without a developer. - Content sites on Wagtail: Editor-friendly Wagtail sites on top of Django. - Django upgrades: Django 3.2 or 4.2 moved to 5.2 LTS or 6.1, with Python upgraded too. - Background jobs and performance: Celery tasks, slow queries and caching tuned for real load. - Salesforce integration: Django apps that sync records through Salesforce APIs. - Team extension: Django engineers who work in your repos, rituals and tools. ## The Django stack we work with From the framework to the servers and tests that run it. - Framework and CMS (How the app is built): Django 5.2 LTS, Django ORM, Wagtail - APIs and background work (What runs beyond the page): Django REST Framework, Celery, Django admin - Data and serving (Where it stores data and runs): PostgreSQL, Gunicorn, Uvicorn - Testing and runtime (How each release is checked): pytest-django, pytest, Python 3.12+ ## Which Django version should we upgrade to? Django 4.2 LTS stopped getting security fixes in April 2026, and Python 3.10 reached end of life in October 2026. Today: Django 3.2 or 4.2 - Django 5.2 LTS, Move to the current LTS: Django 5.2 is the long-term support release, supported to April 2028. Best for most apps, and for teams that upgrade once every few years. - Django 6.1, Move to the current release: The newest features, on Python 3.12 or later. Django 6.x needs Python 3.12 or newer. Best for apps under active development. - A supported Django, Rescue a Django 1.x or 2.x app: Stepped through releases with tests at each stop, and Python 2 code moved to Python 3 on the way. Best for old apps that still run a real service. ## How can we work together on Django? Three ways to engage. Each starts with a written proposal agreed before work begins. - Fixed-scope project, A defined Django deliverable, built and handed over. - We direct the work against agreed milestones - Priced per milestone in the proposal - Working code, tests and documentation - Fits a new build, an upgrade or a rescue - Dedicated team, A Django team that runs your product with you. - Our lead runs delivery, you set priorities - Billed on a monthly plan - Engineers, a lead and testing as one unit - Fits ongoing work without an in-house team - Team extension, Django engineers added to the team you already run. - Your managers direct the day-to-day work - Billed monthly for each engineer - Vetted engineers; we handle employment and replacement - Fits a backlog bigger than your current team ## How does a Django engagement start? Five steps from the first call to delivery. - Brief: Free 60-minute review of your application; Goals, constraints and access agreed under NDA - Match or design: Engineers matched and interviewed by you; Or a scope and milestone plan written - Start: Accounts, repos and environments set up; Codebase walkthrough and a first task - Build and review: Sprints with code review on every change; Tests and a demo each sprint - Hand over or continue: Runbooks and handover sessions; Or a monthly plan for support ## Cost and timing The first step is a free 60-minute architecture review of your Django application setup, with a written plan you keep. Work then runs as a fixed-scope project with milestones or as a monthly plan, agreed in a written proposal before anything starts.
