Visual Basic would be a good idea for a program like that.
It's really easy todo
Updates as stuff changes just make it so it loads the website.. A mini explorer that autoloads onto your website.. as you upload/change the look of the website or add stuff it'll change because it just loads the website.

PSC has got some pretty cool stuff to mess around with a program and its handy if something is bugging you that you can't figure out.
