[New] in which language would you create a CRM web-app for a small office?

for years I have been paying really a lot of money for a CRM web-app which is mediocre. I always wanted to build something for our office myself.

I am an amateur though.

So I wanted to ask: which backend + frontend would you use?

was thinking NGINX for backend and perhaps PHP front? But again - I am amateur at this.

All I am looking for is a client list with docs (email in the future by plugging into Gmail but that's for later).

Thanks so much! Any advice/thoughts is welcomed and appreciated.

I would personally start with something I am most familiar with especially if a project does not targets a big audience. You like PHP? - cool, use it! You like JS - hell yeah, you can use it on both front and back ends. My choice is Java + Angular because I am good at them :)

Have you considered building on an open source option that might be appropriate? I think that could help you scratch the coding itch while also saving on costs.
