Django Template

This Django Template comes prepackaged with:

• Django
• Materialize-Css
• Webpack
• React
• Scss transpiliation system
• Jinja2 templating system

Additionally, there is also:

• A modified env system to change settings based on your environment
• The ability to read from an .env file (refer to .env.example)
• Useful common css helpers built on-top of materialize
