I have a Node.js script running locally through command line (I haven't developed it so not very familiar with the code) which takes an email address as a parameter and looks up some data and spits out results in a command line table.

I wanted to make a "front-end" for this, like a simple local Webpage where I could punch in an email address and see the response right on the browser itself.

I am not very familiar where to get started without complicating this into a bigger problem than it is. Any guidance would be very helpful here. I haven't really done any web development using Node or JS before but I am familiar with basic web development (and willing to learn) new ways of doing things.

If I can provide any additional information please let me know.

Thank you!

The most prominent framework for developing node apps is express.js. You can't go wrong if you invest some effort into learning express. It will help you with routing and templates, and can generate a skeleton application for you. Read through the guide, and learn:
