Hi,

you are basically asking how views and templates work in django.

I suggest start with the django tutorials [1] and then you will understand that 
what you are trying to do is nothing special.

You might want to use a decorator called “@login_required” vor your views which 
show user info. This way you don’t have to check yourself, if a user is logged 
in or not.


Good luck and fun in learning django.
