Beginner a bit lost - need some pointers please

I'm an experienced programmer (started around 1971 or so!) and I've done
lots of things over the years, much of my background is in Unix (Solaris).
In the last few years I have done quite a lot of web related stuff.

I'm trying to get my mind round django. I have it installed on my
unbuntu server, it works, I've worked through tutorials 1 and 2 and a
bit of 3. I can get the admin screens up and the basics of the polls
example work.

However two rather basic things still elude me:-

Where/how do I actually start creating the top level/page of a web
site? Do I just open vi and create some HTML and embed django
code? That seems unlikely but I can't see anywhere that tells me
what the code that creates a django site looks like and/or where it
resides. An actual example of a two or three page working django
based web site would be a huge help.

I can't see anywhere that seems to tell me the issues involved with
moving from using the built in web server to using apache2 (or
whatever, I have apache2 on my system).

I know that in a few days time when I have got over the initial hump all
the above will seem trivial so sorry to ask, but at the moment I'm
feeling a bit lost! :-)
