First of all I like to give you a lecture that is you must read the books that provide from the college or university and look again your lectures sheets.
Now let's come to the second part. Web-design and application developement has no relation between. so, develop webpage according to your feelings. If you don't know PHP then search google for basic php guide. I think that will enough to do your web requirments. TO test that you need to get apache. Get apache from
www.apache.org
Then develop the application with VB 6 or VB.NET use access database in back end. Connect it through ADO control and after that you've to my yourself.
Have fun.
