Should I use Django's Admin feature?

Question

I\'m building a Django-based review website where public users create all of the content on the site. Users create reviews for given items and they also create the items themsel

Answer 1

No. The django admin is not intended for any end-user.

The django admin feature is intended to assist the website developer, and that is all. Even usage by site administrators is contra-indicated, although in practice most small sites get away with it since they're only talking a few people who can call on the developer personally if they get into trouble.

For your purposes, the review items and the workflow in creating the items is a critical part of your application feature set. The admin will give you ideas, but it would be a mistake to attempt to build your application upon it.
