I've done it, though the machines were on a private network instead of the internet. What do you want to know?

Three hours is not a "long time" in the forum. Remember students are located all around the globe!

I would assume your migration is strictly front-end since you mention HTML. There are a lot of nice tools available for HTML development, and many of them are free. One highly respected free one is VSCode.

Will you be learning HTML development from the courses here? The "workspace" environment used with the courses will give you an introduction to integrated development.

If you want to make it possible for someone without programming skills to modify the appearance, you'll need some kind of CMS (Content Management System) which is a pretty advanced bit of software. Perhaps you could adapt an existing one (something like WordPress) but to develop one would be a big job even for a team of experienced developers.

The vending machine project I worked on was not customer configurable. The customer would generate change orders which would be accommodated as part of an on-going software maintenance contract.
