What is the process or term for viewing HTML/CSS using localhost?

I have recently used some software, which come as a regular setup file, where you install your software, and then when you run it, opens the browser, uses the localhost with some specific port number to connect to the software, and runs it from there. I find it quite useful and interesting. But I even don’t know whether this kind of software and programming methodology have a name or not. Therefore, I would like to learn which programming languages, APIs, and frameworks are specifically designed for this purpose?

Is there real value in a portable language targeting very different runtimes?

Another question over on SO introduced me to Oxygene, formerly Chrome before the browser of the same name came to prominence. It’s in the Pascal syntax family, but brings in a lot of object-oriented grammar and elements from the C family, notably Java/C#. One of its big advertised strengths is that the language is implemented as runtime-independent; programs written in Oxygene can target .NET, J2EE, Android, or Cocoa, making it a memory-managed language almost as portable as C/C++ is in unmanaged-land.

Rapid Development for Questionnaire Site with Dashboard

I have been looking around at different stacks for rapidly building a Questionnaire site with a nice Dashboard. Its been many years since I have done any dev work, being familiar with php and jquery, things have progressed a long way in a short time. We had a wordpress at work which i thought i might be able to bolt on formidable forms and find a dashboard building interface plugin as well as an Auth0 plugin for Identity and Access Management. However after doing some research i realised that this might be more work than just building from scratch and hosting on AWS.
