Django Unleashed

23.1 Introduction

A lot of the work of building a website revolves around the webpages used to create, update, and delete content. The purpose of the admin app is to easily provide these webpages. The catch to the admin is that it is targeted at administrators and managers and is not meant to be used by website visitors. Furthermore, the automatic generation of pages in the admin comes at the cost of simplicity and ease of use.
