Hey Michael,
If you are new to development and would like a very simple setup, I would suggest one of the php frameworks such as cakePHP or Symphony. With these you should be able to scaffold up a very basic application within the hour, which is the same for ROR and djangoproject(python).
I have been developing for a long time and still always fall back to php with a framework, for its sheer simplicity of setup, deployment, hosting and scaling. CakePHP 3x has some good introduction tutorials as well.
Obviously this is personal opinion, but the fact that our interns can learn, develop and push out 'heavily" used app apps in a very short timeframe, makes me think its not too bad ;).

Steve also raises a good point, that if you are just setting up websites then Wordpress/Durupal or Joomla which could be used with no coding required, and more flexibility on the client end.

Since you are using a database I am assuming you want the pages to be at
least somewhat dynamic e.g. respond to user input. If this is the case
that would tend to point to some sort of middle tier to negotiate
between the Web server and the database.
So some questions:
1) What exactly are you trying to achieve in terms of interaction
between the user and the data?
2) What language(s) do you want to work in?
