I keep re-reading The UI Audit by Jane Portman:
http://uibreakfast.com/audit/ http://uibreakfast.com/audit/
I use it every time I need to craft an interface but especially for SaaS apps. The OP requested something from a 'newbie perspective'; this book will explain the basics but the real value comes from the explanations and advice with respect to why UI decisions lead to happier users.
I've copy/pasted the chapter headings from the site:
Introduction
Chapter 1. Your Product Strategy
Chapter 2. Navigation
Chapter 3. Dashboard & Homescreen
Chapter 4. Audit Your Screens
Chapter 5. The Problem of Style
Chapter 6. Get a Theme
Chapter 7. Plan for Improvements
Chapter 8. Deal With New Features
- amelius 10y agoWell, I tried to download the sample chapter by entering my email address and clicking "Send Me the Free Chapter". But instead I got subscribed on an email list. So I'm afraid I have to say: that UI really sucks :)

- uibreakfast 10y agoThank you so much for mentioning it here Charlie! Indeed, the book is written specifically for founders to facilitate their design decisions.
