The advantage of using plotly is everything from the front-end to the back-end is built using python. No need to learn javascript and seamlessly put online with https://pythonanywhere.com (free account to get you going). Pythonanywhere has most python packages installed on their own side so you just need to put your .py file and it should run straight away.
