  First, I used django-microframework as inspiration for a simple app.py that could be used instead of the potentially overwhelming files Django normally uses for a site. Then, I added in automatic reading of .env files to override Django settings that shouldn't be committed. I used markdown2 to automatically render markdown files into HTML. And built a way to load data from JSON into templates to be used as variables (since a database is not available when generating a static site).
