It depends on what type of information you want to get back from your website. If you are after the results of queries, then you could consider exposing results as SOAP or as RESTful services and then just hook into these from the client side.

As I said, expose the queries as SOAP (i.e a webservice), or through REST. These would be run on the server, and your code would connect to either the REST service or SOAP service. There are many examples of how to do this online.
