There are various options, the simplest is using a full blown web framework which simplifies about 90% of the work and you only need to code the logic related to your app. Two of the most popular frameworks are django [1] and turbogears [2]. You can also go more low level by designing your own framework from scratch which is something the bigger shops are doing like youtube. In any case there is a wiki page that you might find useful [3].
