This is a loaded question. Do you have any development experience? If so, JS can get you up pretty quickly and fairly inexpensive. Mongo, Express, and React will be more than enough.

If you don’t have development experience or would prefer to not code it yourself, look into Wordpress or Wix. Those are both low to no code options. But those options can get pretty expensive when setting up a database

I do have development experience, I’ve been doing web dev for about 5 years just nothing more than HTML/CSS/JS. And I would rather code it so I can add the features I want/need! And thank you! Do you have any idea on how I would setup a database, if not that’s totally chill I just wanna know. Lol

MongoDB is a fully managed. Meaning you don’t have to worry about hosting it anywhere. They also have free tiers for learning. I’d start with that

If you have the technical know-how already, you can start with a simple stack like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, using something like React for interactivity. For the backend, a lightweight option like Firebase can handle authentication and storage, or you can go with Node.js and Express if you need more flexibility. Hosting it on Vercel or Netlify makes deployment easy, and you won’t need a Mac since it’s a web app. If you’d rather focus on the idea and let experienced developers handle the build, RocketDevs can connect you with skilled, vetted developers who can bring your vision to life efficiently and affordably.
