I'm no expert. But if you have no user interface background, try to read User Interface Design For Programmers (by Joel Spolsky) http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/fog0000000249.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/fog0000000249.html I think it's a great source to get you started. There are some good posts on UI on codinghorror.com, but the site is not dedicated to it -- you'd have to dive in to find them. Also, try to look at how others do their web applications. 37 Signals' stuff may be inspirational, and you can look at how Gmail and Google Reader work. FogBugz can also nudge you into the right direction: http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/ http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/
