 those tools are of no use if you can't easily deploy your sites. Since Django's
 inception, ease of deployment has been a major goal.
 
-This section contains guides to the two main ways to deploy Django. WSGI is the
-main Python standard for communicating between Web servers and applications,
-but it only supports synchronous code.
+There are many options for deploying your Django application, based on your
+architecture or your particular business needs, but that discussion is outside
+the scope of what Django can give you as guidance.
 
-ASGI is the new, asynchronous-friendly standard that will allow your Django
-site to use asynchronous Python features, and asynchronous Django features as
-they are developed.
+Django, being a web framework, needs a web server in order to operate. And
+since most web servers don't natively speak Python, we need an interface to
+make that communication happen.
+
+Django currently supports two interfaces: WSGI and ASGI.
+
+* `WSGI`_ is the main Python standard for communicating between Web servers and
+  applications, but it only supports synchronous code.
+
+* `ASGI`_ is the new, asynchronous-friendly standard that will allow your
+  Django site to use asynchronous Python features, and asynchronous Django
+  features as they are developed.
+
+You should also consider how you will handle :doc:`static files
+</howto/static-files/deployment>` for your application, and how to handle
+:doc:`error reporting</howto/error-reporting>`.
+
+Finally, before you deploy your application to production, you should run
+through our :doc:`deployment checklist<checklist>` to ensure that your
+configurations are suitable.
