In a nutshell, a web application needs authentication and authorization, homepage, database connectivity, HTML pages for frontend, CSS for styling, a URL mapper, and a controller to choose what action is to be performed based on the request, etc.

You will be glad to know that some of the most famous websites use Django. Examples: Disqus, Instagram, Knight Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Mozilla, National Geographic, Open Knowledge Foundation, Pinterest, Open Stack, etc.

Now, run the django-admin startproject mysite command. This will create a project name mysite in your Project_root directory

The manage.py is the Python file responsible for running scripts involving Django-admin and your Django project.

Models-Views-Templates (MVT) is the architecture followed by Django.

The other common framework follows a slightly different architecture called Models-Views-Controller (MVC).

Any project in the computing world has several components like a database, a presentation layer, a client (user) end, a server end, networks to connect these components, etc.

Thus, we need a proper setup or design which shows how to connect or arrange these components such that they work at their best. Such a setup is called architecture.

A database will contain all the data, a backend, a frontend, a server to host all this, and a network to connect these components.

So, we need an architecture that can connect our database to our backend so that our code can read/write data from the database, a connection between backend and frontend so that data can be rendered (shown) on the frontend, and networks so that the flow of these communications keeps happening.
