My 50 cents: 

Actually you can develop Web Applications using Ada
using AWS and maybe using http://blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post%2F2013%2F02%
2F05%2FAda-Server-Faces-0.5.0-is-available; proable there are more 
frameworks.

BUT there is more to consider: What is about the future of your 
web application ... do you want to develop in the next years with your 
core team or do you intend to outsource the maintenance to some 
external company. In the later case i imagine you might have problem
to find a company. This is just one aspect of the missing ecosystem
for Web design in the Ada community.   

Sorry for sounding like a spoil sport; but there is more then tech
to this issue :-)
