I was just wondering what languages are required and how difficult it actually is. By "Admin Page" I mean a page that the client can access by adding /admin to the url and they are able to edit the website such as adding a blog post, adding a gallery to a site, or updating different parts without them needing to know how to code or asking me to do it through code. I already know html css and a small amount of JavaScript and php. Also is there a specific track that would help me with to learn how to do this?

Social sites such as Ravelry use Ruby so that would be another option. Both are covered here on treehouse.

Sounds like you are thinking of a content management system or CMS. There are a lot of CMSes to choose from, Wordpress is a popular option, and there's a series of courses dedicated to it on Treehouse.
