Making things is the most productive stack. Your experience is the only way to know what works for you and to know what doesn't work for you. It is the only way to know what you are actually interested in doing versus what you are interested in thinking about doing . What I mean is, you could have started building a simple website with Notepad instead of asking a question. It would probably have been hard and not very good. Asking the question was not and turned out ok.

Anyway, HTML and Javascript is the simplest thing that might work. HTML and javascript are the fundamental abstractions of web development. Not knowing them is an "illiteracy."

Getting anything up and running will still require a lot of workflow discovery. When you have experience in a workflow you can make informed decisions about your particular needs.
