Best tool to do first data capturing web site?

[EricDawg]

Howdy,

So I know Java pretty well, and HTML a little. I've done my own little sites before using FrontPage express (freebie).

I want to create a site for a friends business where users can enter small orders and capture that info (not sending an email).

The Java I've done here at work would have Tomcat running and uses a combo of JSP and Servlets to capture the info to a MySql db.

Is there an easier/quicker way, say using a real version of FrontPage that I could use to create a site to capture some info? I believe the FrontPage box I looked at said something about need MS Services to capture info which is an additional product?!

I'm not sure at this point who's hosting the site (some 3rd party) or if installing Tomcat on a 3rd party host is acceptable/doable.

Thanks!

Well, you can just use a form that the user would fill out and then just capture the information upon submission. PHP comes to mind. But any scripting language will work.
