I want to develop a site in Django, to have the convenient ORM, and admin, to ease administration.
However, the only hosting option I have is running Django through CGI. Therefore, I would also like to make a "read-only" front end in PHP, which will make the experience "normal" for everyday use (i.e only editing [the database] and authentication will be done through Django/admin).
What is an efficient approach (if there is any), to maximize the (overall percieved) performance, especially with regards to authentication across the PHP front end and Django?
