It will depend on your web app's infrastructure. The simplest way is, as you said, to serve up a simple html page with embedded javascript that uses the REST api to get the data and show it in the widgets, pure client javascript. This probably is good for some simple-purpose proof of concept demo page. If you want to go with a heavier server side approach, then you can use a service layer that would either use the REST api or GEODE client to access the data.
