I'm putting together a bank for a Minecraft server where my friends and I have set up our own political countries and roles. I'm in charge of the bank, and I want to create a website for it. I have some experience with HTML and CSS, and I've played around a bit with JavaScript. Here's what I'm looking to implement: user accounts (both personal and organizational with multiple users), transaction capabilities, and possibly an auction house down the line. I'd also like to explore a credit/debit card system, but that's more of a future aspiration.
My main issue is figuring out how to start the project. I've tried using Vibe coding, but it feels confusing—I suspect I'd understand traditional coding better. Should I create a web app and then turn it into a website? Should I just whip up a simple HTML/CSS site? Do I stick with Vibe coding, or would Node.js be a better choice? I've also thought about making a Discord bot, but I'd prefer the website option since I'm not sure how to even start with bots. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You might want to give Flask a look. It’s a solid option for starting out with a backend in Python, and it’s pretty user-friendly. It might be beneficial for building the core functionality of your bank system.
Honestly, you could use WordPress along with an online banking theme from places like Codecanyon or Themeforest, which could save you a lot of coding hassle. You might be able to get by without writing any code at all, depending on your needs.
For your backend, I'd suggest looking into Convex and Convex Auth for handling accounts. It comes with a database integrated, which simplifies things quite a bit. You'll get things up and running faster this way, although you might not learn as much as if you built a Flask backend from scratch. If you're open to learning a bit more, consider diving into React; it'll make developing your website way easier.
