I agree with other posters. If your one and only goal is to get your site up and running, then for sure stick to what you know... Use straight PHP or a PHP framework. If however, you have the dual goals of getting your site up and running and also learning new and better technology that has the possibility of making you more effective in the future (initial development on your current project will be slower, but it will pay off in the long run), then go with Django... Or Rails... I'm a recovering PHP-aholic, who's moving onto Ruby, so I just had to put that in. Good luck.
