How to Create A Website Using Python ?

Using Flask

Flask is a micro-framework for Python, meaning it’s lightweight and easy to use for small to medium-sized applications.

1. Install Flask:

   bash
   pip install Flask
   

2. Create a basic Flask application:

   python
   from flask import Flask
   
   app = Flask(__name__)
   
   @app.route('/')
   def home():
       return "Hello, Flask!"
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       app.run(debug=True)
   

3. Run the application: Save the file (e.g., app.py), then run it from the command line:

   bash
   python app.py
   

4. View the website: Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ to see your "Hello, Flask!" message.

Using Django

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

1. Install Django:

   bash
   pip install Django
   

2. Create a Django project:

   bash
   django-admin startproject myproject
   cd myproject
   

3. Create a Django app:

   bash
   python manage.py startapp myapp
   

4. Define a view in myapp/views.py:

   python
   from django.http import HttpResponse
   
   def home(request):
       return HttpResponse("Hello, Django!")
   

5. Configure the URL in myproject/urls.py:

   python
   from django.contrib import admin
   from django.urls import path
   from myapp import views
   
   urlpatterns = [
       path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
       path('', views.home),
   ]
   

6. Run the development server:

   bash
   python manage.py runserver
   

7. View the website: Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see your "Hello, Django!" message.

Additional Steps

For both frameworks, you can further develop your website by:

• Adding templates: HTML files that define the structure of your web pages.
• Adding static files: CSS, JavaScript, and image files to style and add interactivity to your website.
• Creating models: Define your data structure and interact with the database.
• Implementing forms: Handle user input and submissions.
