Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025

Prerequisite - Django Project MVT Structure
 

Assuming you have gone through the previous article. This article focuses on creating a basic project to render a template using MVT architecture. We will use MVT (Models, Views, Templates) to render data to a local server.
 

Create a basic Project: 

• To initiate a project of Django on Your PC, open Terminal and Enter the following command 

django-admin startproject projectName

• A New Folder with the name projectName will be created. To enter in the project using the terminal enter command 

cd projectName

• Create a new file views.py inside the project folder where settings.py, urls.py and other files are stored and save the following code in it- 

# HttpResponse is used to
# pass the information 
# back to view
from django.http import HttpResponse

# Defining a function which
# will receive request and
# perform task depending 
# upon function definition
def hello_geeks (request) :

    # This will return Hello Geeks
    # string as HttpResponse
    return HttpResponse("Hello Geeks")

• Open urls.py inside project folder (projectName) and add your entry- 
  
  • Import hello_geeks function from views.py file. 

from projectName.views import hello_geeks

• Add an entry in url field inside url patterns- 

path('geek/', hello_geeks), 

• Now to run the server follow these steps- 
  
  • Open command prompt and change directory to env_site by this command- 

$ cd env_site

• Go to Script directory inside env_site and activate virtual environment- 

$ cd Script

$ activate

• Return to the env_site directory and goto the project directory- 

$ cd ..

$ cd geeks_site

• Start the server- Start the server by typing following command in cmd- 

$ python manage.py runserver

• Checking - Open the browser and type this url-
