# Django introduction

> This is an overview of the steps required to deploy a basic Django site to Sevalla.

[Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) is a high-level Python web framework designed for rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It follows a “batteries-included” approach, providing built-in tools for authentication, database management, security, and templating. With its emphasis on scalability, maintainability, and security, Django is well-suited for building robust web applications and APIs.
