Extenda: A Django starter that grows with your app
Kickstart your next project with a clean, modular Django template that evolves
from idea validation to MVP to full-scale product — skip the painful refactor later
Our Vision
Most projects start with big dreams but end up trapped in messy rewrites. Extenda was built to break that cycle. One foundation, three stages, zero rebuilds — so your focus stays on growing your product, not fixing your code.
1
Validation
Every great product starts as a “what if?”. With Extenda, you can launch a polished landing, capture leads, and track engagement in a single afternoon. Spend your energy testing your idea, not wiring up servers.
2
MVP
When the idea clicks, it’s time to ship something real. Add logins, payments, translations, and an API with plug-and-play modules. Go from an email list to paying customers in days, not months.
3
Grow and Scale
More users, more features, more moving parts? Extenda grows with you: async tasks, integrations, performance boosts, and monitoring, all built on the same codebase you started with. No painful migrations, no “version 2.0 from scratch”.
Built for you if you're a...
Indie developer or early-stage startup
Validate faster and launch sooner with a production-ready Django base. User auth, payments, deployment — all set up.
Spend your time shaping your idea, not wrestling with setup.
Freelancer or agency delivering MVPs
Deliver client projects in weeks, not months. A flexible backend you can adapt to different needs without cutting corners.
Build on the same rock-solid core, while keeping each project unique.

Focus on your course, template, or tool — Extenda handles the selling and scaling.
How developers use Extenda
From first draft to fully-fledged product, Extenda adapts to the way you build. These are some of the most common ways you can put it to work.

Launch in hours with a landing page, lead capture, and analytics baked in. Perfect for testing demand before investing months of work. Pivot, refine, or double down without starting over.
Non-web apps
Pair Extenda with mobile or desktop frontends for a module, scalable backend.
Scale an MVP into a SaaS
When your MVP gets traction, Extenda grows with you. Add integrations, background jobs and monitoring, all in the same codebase. Keep it backend-driven with Django admin and templates, or hook up a custom frontend. No painful rewrites.
AI wrappers and API-driven products
Turn GPT or any API into a product with built-in queues, caching, and async tasks. Skip the boilerplate and focus on the unique logic.
