What should I learn to make this Database? Customized Navigation?

Question

I'm trying to create a database where I can customize everything. I hope to make it like many websites such as yahoo answers. The top has Home, Mail, News, Sports,... and the side has the Yahoo Answers icon which takes one to their Yahoo Answers home,then All Catergories, Arts & Humanities... on the side.

I want to be able to control how I navigate, what the interface looks like (not my highest interest), what buttons (or links) take me to, placing as many drop boxes, textboxes, or buttons as I please and more.

I've learned SQL in MS Access and although I could do this, I could not make a datavalues into a link to open a Word Document, or a webpage (because I have an older version of Access). Still, I would like to know other alternatives to allow me to do this.

I still am somewhat a beginner in computer science and programming so I'm wondering what should I learn to do this? Should I learn MySQL or mariadb, other programming languages (Java, C, C++, HTML...). Other suggestions?

Answer 1

You should learn, or be familiar with the basics of HTML, CSS, Javascript, and SQL couldn't hurt. I think what you may want to start with is a CMS or CMF. The top three are Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal. Each has its strengths and weaknesses depending your final product needs.

Answer 2

You should learn php, MySQL, html, css, js. You could also do it with ultimatewb software, you can customize/design your own website with it, no coding required.

Answer 3

You can not use Access for that. It is useless for web work. You need to learn mysql, pp and javascript.
