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].
