About this blog
This blog is about Eldarion and our thoughts on business and technical topics.
If terms like “cache invalidation” or “database denormalization” don't interest you, you can just follow the business topics. Alternatively, if terms like “web analytics” or “sales automation” don't interest you, just follow the technical topics.
Of course, you're more than welcome to follow both. At Eldarion, we don't believe people have to only be of one type or the other.

About Eldarion
Eldarion builds great sites with Pinax and Django and helps you to do the same. We provide Pinax support & services, whether it's training, support or custom development you need.
We do web site development, both front-end and back-end, and can continue to host and maintain the site as it evolves.
Gondor, our managed hosting solution, is catered specifically to commercial, multi-tiered Django and Pinax deployments. Whether you are a client wanting us to also take care of your hosting needs or have a site that you develop yourself and just desire push button deployments, Gondor is the solution for you.
We also develop our own sites and host them on Gondor. Some are serious commercial sites, others are more lighthearted and fun.
Whenever possible, we open source components of our web sites and love working with clients that allow us to open source parts of our work for them.
