Django is pretty flexible, so it's impossible to say exactly how to
integrate with your existing design since the original developer could
have done the template layout in a number of different ways.  Since
the development process is a bit different that php, you might want to
step through the tutorial in the documentation - even if all you plan
on doing is changing the html.  The short amount of time spent there
will pay off.

If you're lucky, there may be a single wrapper template that most/all
of the other pages extend and you can simply modify the base template
with the new design.  In any case, I'd suggest reading the template
language docs, specifically the part about Template Inheritance.  From
there you should be able to look at the html/template files in your
existing project and be able to see how to merge your design.  You'll
probably want to run the django development server to view the
rendered pages as you work on the templates.

As an example of the process, you might look at the section of the
djangobook that has to do with overriding the built in admin-app
templates "Customizing Admin Templates".  There is no guarantee your
custom app will have a similar template layout, but it should be a
good conceptual overview.
