Seeing as you know PHP try the Laravel framework (disclaimer: I&#x27;ve never used it but have heard that it&#x27;s very rails like and I use rails daily because it&#x27;s very fast and easy to get started with). Use bootstrap for your CSS needs (layout etc is too simple to be true and it will save you a ton of time) and once you have the bones of functionality you want start exploring JS tools for adding a slicker user experience.<p>If you want to look at something new I can highly recommend the Rails Tutorial by Hartl to bring you up to speed on the basics of web dev with rails, bootstrap and ajax. It also teaches you a bit of git which is a must.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.railstutorial.org&#x2F;book" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.railstutorial.org&#x2F;book</a>
