When using the built-in webserver in debug mode, the static files are handled automatically. From the Django docs: During development, if you use django.contrib.staticfiles, this will be done automatically by runserver when DEBUG is set to True (see django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve()). This method is grossly inefficient and probably insecure, so it is unsuitable for production. This means, when using a real webserver, it also has to serve the static files, i.e. CSS and JavaScript. For that, one needs to run `./manage.py collectstatic` first.
