This would go under the catagory of "Content Management System." I would create it in PHP, and no it does not take hours to learn. I learned the bulk of it in a very short amount of time, especially considering PHP has one of the best backbones for a server-side internet language because it has a great resource site (php.net) so if you do get stuck it isn't hard to find examples, or search what functions you might need. CMS is a widely used thing now-a-days, it makes for a very up-to-date feel and it is easier to update information. The only thing I would like to remind you is, PHP is a SERVER-SIDE language meaning it isn't meant for CLIENT-SIDE operations! There are some languages that are hybrids like javascript(javascript doesn't take long to learn either), except javascript lacks certain aspects(but different languages can be used in harmony). I guess you could also just find/buy a premade clan script...
