Firstly, you must use HTML/CSS to build your website, you cannot simply just build websites with Java or Python. You can, however, use various Libraries/Frameworks to handle the back-end tasks on your web app - these use Java or Python (or various other languages).
Python would be the easiest to get started, look into:
- Django
- Flask (Bit easier than Django)
There are courses here on Treehouse for both of those too!
For Java:
- Spring MVC
- JSF
- Vaadin
So if you're getting started with back-end development, have a look at Flask, or just Python in general. But I must tell you, PHP is the easiest option. It's super easy to deploy and will probably get you started a lot quicker.

Me I prefer Node.js (JavaScript) I think it's best for real time applications and saves you the trouble of learning a new language as to design the Front End (the visual side on the browser) you also need to know HTML/CSS and JavaScript
