I would buy some corporate WordPress template and do all of my content management there for sanity and quickness, it's also good for SEO. As for the web application, I would code that myself from scratch using Node and React. For the back end, an API built with NodeJs and Express would be quick to do. I would secure it with the jsonwebtoken library to avoid touching the database too much. Then for the React client, I would import Ant design components, which has a large collection of customizable components that have a corporate look by default, it also has great docs and it's easy to use. For the hosting, I would get a VPS and a domain. The user enters my domain and the first thing to be seen is my Wordpress site, if the user needs to use the web app, then a subdomain points to it. That way, everything lives in the same place. A VPS with CyberPanel would provide an interface so you can view your files and configure your website's ssl quickly without using the terminal too much.

Hey everyone, My users love Microsoft Excel, and so do I. I've been making tools for them in the form of workbooks for years, these tools usually have databases included in the spreadsheets or communicate to free APIs around the web, but now I want to distribute these tools in the form of Excel Add-ins for several reasons.

I want these Add-ins to communicate to a personal server to authorize users, read from my databases, and write to them while they're using their Excel environment. I have never built a website, so what would be a good solution for this, considering I'm new to all of these technologies? I know about the existence of Microsoft Azure, Microsoft SharePoint, and Google Sheets, but I don't know how to feel about those.
