I wouldn't bother trying to properly get certified as a web developer as training can be very expensive and you will find that while you may be able to get jobs as a web dev you will not be able to jump straight into a pen testing job.
Depending on what country you're in, there may be higher education (uni) courses on ethical hacking and cyber security, aside from that one of the most beneficial things you can do is start looking at certs you can study for such as OSCP, CEH, Security+ etc.
Be aware however, it can be a lengthy and expensive process paying for training and taking the tests.
