-I am wanting to build a website.

-I intend for the website to be a platform where the end user (A manager) will login and be able to create bids for customers and be able to export to excel or PDF.

-To piggy back off of the previous, I would like to build a platform that the end user (field employee) can login (and will not have access to the managers portion and limit the users rights and abilities to do certain things) and generate tickets from the bid created by the manager. With the ability to also export to excel or PDF.

-I plan on this platform being able to generate reports and being able to handle potentially a lot of data without compromising performance and speed of the app.

-Able to be used on a cell phone.

What I have tried:

I have not started this project yet.

For a website, you have no real choice for the client front end: Javascript is regrettably the only choice, regardless of the device your client views it on.

For the server side, you can use PHP, C#, VB, Java and JSP, Python, Ruby on Rails ...

So either:
1) Pick a server side language you are familiar with, and select a web host that supports it.
Or
2) Check what server side support your chosen web host has, and use one of them that you are familiar with.

Errm, why can't he use C++ at the server side? Is this a brand new rule? I've used C++ successfully on the server side in a number of projects.

For the simple reason that my brain failed... :O
