My Website + How to add new features

Dear Treehouse Community!

I've been on Treehouse for a while, and I will say I've come to love this place! Right now, I've learned enough to build my own website, and host it for free.

Please check it out here, and give me back a little feedback (it's still a WIP): My Website

Now, I want to expand and add a few features to this. I want to create a small form (I know the html & css to make that) receive input, store it on a database, like firebase, and display it on my website in the form of a chart or a table. How can I do this?

To make this, can I use static hosts, such as paperplane, or do I have to use things like heroku/git? How could I do this?

What languages do I need to learn, (assuming I know only HTML&CSS) and how would I implement this? Are there any lessons on Treehouse to implement this?

Thank you!

you will need to learn a server side programming langauge like PHP. I suggest taking a look at some of the php courses and probably the php with MySQL course to be more specific if you want to work with databases
