## What it is
Django Suit is an alternative modern theme/skin for the Django admin interface, built on Twitter Bootstrap with improved filters, sorting, configurable menus, and tabs. It is a drop-in Django app that replaces the default admin templates, with a non-commercial CC license and paid commercial licensing.

## Use cases
- make django admin look modern
- theme the django admin interface
- customize django admin with bootstrap styling
- add sortable lists and tabs to django admin
- configure a custom menu for django admin
- improve django admin list filters

## When to choose
- you want a polished, professional-looking Django admin without building custom templates
- your project is non-commercial and you want a free admin theme
- you need configurable menus, horizontal filters, and sorting in the admin out of the box

## When to avoid
- your project is commercial and you cannot accept the CC BY-NC license or paid pricing
- you need a fully open-source (MIT/BSD) admin theme
- you rely on heavily customized admin templates that may conflict with Suit's full template replacement
- you need guaranteed support for the latest Django/Python versions, since tested versions are old

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, css-framework, templating
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: django-admin, admin-theme, bootstrap, skin, django-package, commercial-license, web-server
