Diane Corriette
I am a Full-Stack Django Developer who helps content creators and small businesses promote their expertise online. After years in online marketing, I realised I wanted to build what powered those campaigns - the tools themselves. Now I design clean, maintainable Django applications that make running a small online business simple, scalable, and independent.
I built the Mini eCommerce Site Builder for creators who want to sell digital products without huge monthly fees or tech overwhelm. I am also exploring creative coding and AI-powered tools to keep development both fast and human.
About Diane Corriette
Supporting Independent Creators
I’m Diane Corriette, a web developer who builds practical eCommerce and personal-growth systems using Python, Django, and TailwindCSS. My focus is helping independent creators and small businesses simplify the tech that powers their ideas, so they can focus on creating and earning, not troubleshooting.
For more than a decade I built WordPress websites, helping businesses share their work and sell their expertise online. In 2023 I decided to go deeper, learning to code so I could create the tools behind the sites I used to build. That decision opened a new chapter for me as a full-stack developer.
I enjoy using Django not just for eCommerce, but to design small, purposeful tools that support growth and learning. Each project is an opportunity to build something useful and well-structured for others who create online. Connect with me on LinkedIn if you’d like to discuss ideas or collaborations.

My Personal Portfolio Blog
Behind every line of code is a story. I use this space to write mine - what I am building, breaking and debugging, plus what I am figuring out along the way. I share my builds, experiments, and reflections. Some posts are technical. Some are personal. All are part of growing as a developer who loves experimenting with how AI enhances independent web development.
