What is the best way to serve static web pages from within a Django application?

Question

I am building a relatively simple Django application and apart from the main page where most of the dynamic parts of the application are, there are a few pages that I will need that will not be dynamic at all (About, FAQ, etc.). What is the best way to integrate these into Django, idealing still using the Django template engine? Should I just create a template for each and then have a view that simply renders that template?

Answer 1

Have you looked at flat pages in Django? It probably does everything you're looking for.

Answer 2

If you want to just create a template for each of them, you could use the direct_to_template generic view to serve it up.

Another option would be the django.contrib.flatpages app, which would let you configure the static URLs and content via the database.
