Sure, don't worry, Squeak can do all that for you easily and dependably.

One option is Seaside, available from http://beta4.com/seaside - it's
likely overkill for what you want, but should allow you to get the
job done with minimal fuss.  I'll be in Seattle in a couple of weeks,
could give you a demo... ;-)

There's also the HV framework, or SSP (sorry, I don't have a URL for
either, but try searching the Swiki).
