With all the options out there, can't seem to focus on a simple solution that doesn't have any ongoing costs attached either for tools or services ... needing to have smartphones (android or ios using html) be able to go to a local intranet web page and display a simple canned status query (db content is in constant state of flux). not looking for a cloud solution as this is a local requirement (INTRANET ONLY) ... visual studio 2017./19 might offer a solution but there are so many options I haven't been able to find a path through the forest (built stand alone apps in Visual 2008 which was easy to navigate this new generation of Visual has become unwieldy) ... XAMPP (running apache) provides php, java. Wordpress and or many other options. Ubuntu in a VM might work with an odbc connection via an apache web service ... azure and or sharepoint sound like they are cloud based and or requiring subscriptions from ms ... I have already built and tested the query now needing the appropriate tool to build the html page plus decide how to deploy on the local network.
Suggestions of where I might start would greatly be appreciated ... over 30 years of diverse programming experience just looking for a clear direction
Thanks in advance
