Here's a step-by-step guide for using the Django Template:

Getting Started

2. Once the template is loaded, you'll see the pre-populated code in the Lazy Builder interface.

Test the Application

1. Click the "Test" button to deploy and run the application.

2. Lazy will handle the deployment process, including setting up the environment and installing necessary dependencies.

3. Once the deployment is complete, Lazy will provide you with a server link to access your application.

Using the Application

1. Open the provided server link in your web browser.

5. The homepage displays a simple welcome message.

Customizing the Application

To customize the application:

1. Modify the home.html and create_superuser.html templates in the Lazy Builder interface to change the appearance of the pages.

2. Update the views.py file to add new views or modify existing ones.

3. Edit the urls.py file to add new URL patterns for additional pages or functionality.

4. Use the Django admin interface by appending /admin to your server URL and logging in with your superuser credentials.
