Perhaps consider building a successful site rather than the technical aspects. They are important but if you created a site that got lots of traffic, what could they say?

More importantly, if you monetized it or if you put this on a resume, what benefit could you also realize.

There are a number of theories on how to build a successful site.

One I like is the 5 C’s

Concept

You need to build on a concept that has lots of people looking for it but not a lot of competition.

Create

It need to be a content rich site to answer the jobs to be done of the visitors.

Clicks You Need to Get

You will need to do some work to get the traffic flowing.

Confidence

There are a number of ways to build confidence in a site.

Convert

You may not need to cash in. You still need to convert your visitors into users.

Best wishes

Using UML define your classes and produce class and use diagrams.

Design your database. Identify all the attributes , data types, and tables you will need. Do a 3rd normal form analysis to ensure that you do not have data duplication. Then design the indexes for the tables, this based on transaction rate/ updates / selection criteria.

Decide on your database engine, if you are using PHP as your scripting language I suggest you use MySQL.

If you want to knock up some basic code, I suggest you use PHP generator from http://www.sqlmaestro.com.

Alternatively you can code your classes with the required properties and methods.

You must understand HTML. You definitely should understand how to use CSS and Javascript. These are kind of the common factors. On top of all that you need to select a language/platform for writing code. If you are open source inclined, go with PHP. If you are a fan of MS, go with .NET. MS offers Express versions of their IDEs that are really good.
To make really useful websites you also need to learn relational databases and SQL.
There are a lot of training videos for .NET online.
Good luck.
