Upgrade access data project to web page

I wrote an extensive Access Data Project front end with a well normalized SQL back end. Newest versions of Access does not support adp. Am wanting to produce a new web-based front end that will not "age out" as the adp did. I am very green when it comes to web pages and looking for some basic direction and understanding. Perhaps there will be some courses I can take. I am employed at a manufacturing plant as the Electrical Designer. The db has records about our drawings, our motors, and the equipment the motors drive; about 30,000 records in all. It also is able to utilize VBA to open drawings and produce pdfs. Don't know if this could be done with a web page.

I am hoping to find something besides Microsoft, yet something that is well known that others may be able to build upon. As far as our IT dept helping, it ain't going to happen... I have a great deal of trouble with MS applications. The instructions are always fact-based, specific-procedure oriented rather than concept-based, general-function oriented. It's just how I think and learn.

So can any of you fine folks help me out?

What I have tried:

Investigated some things that are either of the shelf, such as Autocad Vault, or available from outside firms, such as Adept. Neither fit our needs very well. It seems it will need to be something custom built in-house.

Admittedly a ringer with a C/C++ background, I learned HTML/CSS/javaScript/PHP from:
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[^]

Except for php (because it's server-side) they not only give simple examples but also have "try it" opportunities throughout that you can modify to see how things really work right there in their (FREE) tutorials.

As for converting the ACCESS project, which includes a front end, I suggest building a boiler-plate page and load your data from there.
