    XHTML/HTML is a given and will be required for any webpage, it's the server-side language you need to decide on, raw XHTML/HTML will not suffice for a dynamic website, especially an e-commerce one, you need a backend which will perform the processing and store your data.

    It's up to you what you choose, but I would recommend PHP and use MySQL as your database, it's relatively easy to set up and there are plenty of resources and tutorials to help you on the web. It's a good idea not to use a builder program when you're starting out because you start to understand the concept of coding and figuring out problems. If you're comfortable try incorporate a bit of javascript into your pages (look at jQuery) this will allow you improve the look-and-feel and you can do some pretty nifty effects with it. Good luck.
