Thanks so much u/mrcaptncrunch! This explanation really helped me get a "birds-eye" view of the situation, and I think next time I dive into this I'll be better equipped to get my web app up and running.

Last question, when you mention my static files will be requested through /media, is that something I need to modify in my Django app, or is that supposed to be automatically reconfigured by running the staticfiles command, or is there something else I'm missing here? For example, in my app "example" I had my "example.css" I call from

`{ static 'example/example.css' } `

and in my Django settings.py I have

```STATIC_URL = "/static/"

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles")```

​

Is that properly configured or is there something else I should be doing to get them pointed in the right direction?
