It depends on your experience with HTML.

If you are familiar with HTML and want to use it to its full potential,
you should take a look at the RealThinClient SDK:
http://www.deltasoft.hr/rtc

You can use any HTML designer (for example: Macromedia Dreamweaver) to
create the visual design using templates, which would be stored as external
files on the server so you can change the design as needed without doing any
changes to your code. You can then use the RTC Parser, which is included in
the RTC SDK, to fill your templates with live data from a database and
server-side (local) files.

With the RTC SDK, writing Web Applications isn't a much different from PHP
or Java applications. The only important difference is that you do it using
Delphi as your preffered language, so you do not need to learn other
programming languages.

RealThinClient SDK lets you compile your code as a stand-alone executable
(easy to set-up on a clean Windows install) *and* as an ISAPI extension
compatible with IIS and Apache. So, you only write one application and
delpoy it any way you like (stand-alone exe or ISAPI).

RTC SDK is easy to learn and to use. Only spending a few minutes going
through the Quick-Start guide will give you enough information to start
writing your project, then you will learn about more advanced options and
features as you go along, by using Help files, extensive FAQ and direct
developer support through newsgroups.
