Well you can either learn how to build frontend yourself or pay somebody to do it. And as always you get what you pay for so somebody good will charge a lot. That should help motivate you to learn. You don't need to learn JavaScript or Node initially. It's perfectly fine to start with old school front end built with Rails or Django. Dynamic HTML generated on the server. Which could be Node but doesn't need to be. PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby will do just fine. You need to learn HTML and how submitting forms works at the very least. And probably some CSS. You can start with that. And by the way, $50 per hour is not even that high. There are some too frontend experts charging double that or more. So unless you got big budget for this side business I'd recommend to learn very basics yourself and start with simple UIs that you can write on your own. Later if the side business takes off you can hire front end experts to take it from there.
