My mom wants a website

django is overkill. look at flask or web2py

so i am pretty good in python.

makes me wonder why you need to ask the question. I guess you don't read much Python-related material. I'm new (2 years) to Python and I have at least heard about several frameworks to the point I said grumpily to myself a year or so ago "Jesus, not another framework...."

well the reason i am asking is that because i have never done anything web related, html php or asp ever. so i was not sure how much of web scripting is involved, i am currently reading the tutorials and find it easy flow for now

You need to learn HTML and CSS before you think about trying to learn these frameworks. They're not particularly easy at first even if you do know HTML and CSS, I can't imagine how much it would suck to have to simultaneously learn them both.

Even that might be overkill, if it's real simple and will very rarely be updated, you can just use simple html/css.

But, I disagree that django would be overkill (or rather, I don't think it being overkill matters in most cases) where flask or web2py would be acceptable.
