Since the first two forms doesn't map to a database object, you will need to create custom forms and manipulators. Take a look at: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/#custom-forms-and-manipulators Although, the way to create and use custom forms is going to change soon. Just be aware of that. You can create three views, one for each step. In the first view, create a custom manipulator to handle and validate the data that is entered in that first view. If the data is correct, use sessions to store a flag that indicates that the user has entered the information correctly and redirect him to the next view. In the next view you would then check in the session that the flag for the previous view is set. If you will later need the supplied information then store it in the session too, do not use hidden fields to carry it over different views.
