Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. The framework emphasizes <a href="/facts/Reusability/te10mWEI">reusability</a> and "pluggability" of components, less code, low coupling, rapid development, and the principle of <a href="/facts/Don%27t_repeat_yourself/pUF8abIM">don't repeat yourself</a>.
