Rails works great for that. Rails works great for every web task except the very big and the very small. Very small being anything you'd want to put on a Raspberry Pi. The learning curve is reasonable, and can be made easier if you get the basics of both Ruby and MVC down by using a simpler Ruby framework like Sinatra to build out a few toy apps before jumping into Rails. Once you feel like you need more out of a framework than Sinatra can give, it's time to switch to Rails. Ruby and the web go together like Captain and Coke.
