WinAmerica

We are a small startup company with Azure SQL Server back end. We have developed a prototype in Microsoft Access of front end which we want to convert to a web app. We would like a corporate website with an app embedded in some fashion. I'm knowledgeable enough (at least I feel like I am) on back end technology stacks, but need some advice on front end. We need this built in something that our technical staff can maintain and make enhancements to. We need to get something built quickly as well, so need to choose something that can be built, tested and deployed quickly. We are thinking of using a freelance contractor for initial build process.

I greatly appreciate any direction and advice that can be provided.

Thank you
