Web Application Architecture Design - HTML / CSS / JS + REST Backend Interface

I have experience developing websites, but none of them have the right web applications.

But this time I am creating more of a web application, my server will probably handle API calls from a mobile application (iPhone / Android / MeeGo (... or not)) or even from third-party clients.

So, I think, is it really necessary that the “website” - the external part of my application using HTML (5) / CSS (3) and JS - interact with my backend in a different way than my other “interfaces”?

I think wrong? I think this is a common problem, and I need some experimental advice on this. Thank you for your help.

Not really. You think about it right. You can use Javascript to interact with your Rest API, so you can only focus on writing a scalable API and user interface. This is an approach made by Twitter. Their website is a Rails application that uses the twitter API, written primarily in Scala, and uses hundreds of Twitter clients, whether it’s a mobile or desktop application.
