Python is a renowned programming language which has been in the industry for more than 25 years. Since its inception, it has gone many updates and improvisations. Hence, Python is one of the fastest growing programming languages in the world.

Companies using Python Django for Web Development

Django, on the other hand, is a powerful open source framework that was released initially in 2005. Factors such as simplicity, reliability, and scalability have largely contributed to its growth over the past years. For these reasons, it has evolved to be one of the go-to options for developers and businesses worldwide.

A combination of Python and Django has proven to be extremely powerful for application development. Despite all these, we still hear questions regarding the scope of Python Django web development. This blog is intended to clear the air on the future scope of Python Django.

So, here is a snippet of our Python Django web development story for one of our prominent clients.

The client is a global Content Curator helping the Travel, Hospitality, and Leisure businesses. Their aim is to provide a hassle-free experience to hoteliers and travel companies in their quest to find popular local attractions, landmarks and other leisure spots near their hotel/travel spots.

Since 2012, they had been persistently trying to come up with a single stop solution for publishing authentic content upon inspiring travel attractions, landmarks and leisure places. The contents offered include customizable descriptions, suggestions, reviews, photos, and interactive maps.

The client approached SayOne with a need for developing a ‘zero-touch’ application to help their customers create and manage the collection of places. The collection of locations were to be added in the form of instant dynamic widgets, embedded on their customers’ websites. The payment mode for instant widgets also needed to be managed for secure and steady transactions.

They also wanted to incorporate the existing technologies into the application. The present process was largely manual and required frequent backend intervention. This was causing them excessive time-consumption leading to lack of productivity and frustration.

The client had two major demands regarding the proposed system — low development cost and scalable application. In this regard, application type and chosen technology stack were the major game-changers. Due to the low pricing nature of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, we developed a SaaS application in which a ‘no touch’ system was implemented.

We understood that such a complex application architecture required the use of a simple yet scalable technology stack. Hence, the Python Django combination was selected along with other prominent technologies such as AngularJS, Stripe, Amazon Web Services, etc for seamless application functioning.

All aspects of the widget creation process along with payment system were automated. The users could use an instant script to be embedded into their websites easily. The provision to create customized widgets was integrated into the system. They could customize what appeared underneath each widget. The analytics data provided by the application enabled users to get insights into their customers’ activities on the websites.

Further, a comprehensive ‘help’ function provided a handy guide to the site visitors. The customer queries were routed by means of a ticketing system that ensured continuous customer support.

The End Result

Due to the advanced features and low pricing nature of Software as a Service, we were able to build a fully self-sustaining application with limited intervention and cost-overheads. Thanks to the Python Django app development combo, we have been able to execute complex program logic in simple syntaxes without compromising on robustness.

The zero-touch content curated application acts as an aid to the travel, hospitality and leisure businesses. It presents customizable descriptions, tips, reviews, photos along with event details in the location as compact interactive maps and visual galleries. It increases dwell time leading to repeated website visits and ultimately, bookings. The web application has been functioning seamlessly from the past 4 years.

The client has successfully established themselves as pioneers in providing Content as a Service. Today, the application functions as a prominent source of information for multiple hoteliers and travel companies.
