You ask three questions, I will address each of them.
1.) You are a little late as most people started this a little younger. However that means nothing as development changes so much, especially on the web side of things. For example PHP 5 (the only version you should use, not PHP4) only came out about 9 years ago. I would hire you but ONLY when I see your coding skills. (Tip: if you don't have a github account, get one now. It is free and then you can also get ahead with thousands of other developers. Also a "see me on github" on your CV will really stand out as a good thing.)
2.) It looks like you only have done HTML and CSS... both of these have changed so much that if you want to get serious with either of them you shouldn't really use them in the "traditional sense". By that I mean that you should rather use a framework that works out really nicely. Responsive design (works on all sized screens, mobile, iPad, etc) is currently a hot topic. Try out Foundation. It is a really cool framework for front end design. (and much easier to learn than Bootstrap) http://foundation.zurb.com/ http://foundation.zurb.com/
3.) If you want to do actual programming, I would still recommend PHP. It is still the largest server side language... and hence more jobs available. Just some companies that use it: Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, Amazon and Apple. However whatever language you do end up using, if you want to get really good at it and get noticed in the job market find yourself a framework and get good at it. For PHP I would recommend symfony2 http://symfony.com/ http://symfony.com/ as it has by far the largest community.
To sum up with, I would say that if you push yourself really hard, keep abreast with the technologies and most importantly practise coding you should be rather good in just a few years
