The OpenStack customer-facing portal is called Horizon and is based on Django.
https://github.com/openstack/horizon
It's intended to be tailored and play nicely with other Django applications.  That would be the first place to start.  The rest depends on what kind of interface you want to present to your customers for your deployment.
