My suggestion is Webmachine or Cowboy speaking only JSON with a heavy
Javascript frontend, like Backbone.js, Spine.js or my favorite Batman.js

This provides a lot of advantages, especially if you have people on the
frontend who know html/css/javascript but don't want to deal with Erlang.
Now they simply have a RESTful API to deal with and can develop on ahead
using fixtures or a basic backend in any quick tool that can build REST
apps like Sinatra or Node.js returning stock responses. Plus, you then are
already ready to develop other interfaces besides a web frontend for you
backend with no changes.

And while I've fallen behind on keeping it going, I'm creating apps for
using with Webmachine to make things faster when you know you are just
dealing with JSON->Erlang  https://github.com/tsloughter/maru
