Seriously - try PHP.
It's a much much nicer language than Java or JavaScript and unlike some of the latest languages (which are, arguably, even nicer) PHP has a massive library of third party packages that you can either use or just learn from.
And unlike Python, which is a general purpose language, PHP is purpose built for exactly the type of work you're doing.
Most PHP websites are wordpress, which deserves all of the crap people ditch on it, but all of that crap is wordpress not PHP, and there are other options. Start with this: https://phptherightway.com/pages/The-Basics.html
People shouldn’t be down voting you just because they disagree and hate php. I’ve read that it has come along way in the last 10 years or so. People really like Laravel too. I wouldn’t put it on my list of recommendations personally but I get why someone might.
