You should not be inventing ui/ux for an early web application at this point. Almost every possible control and behavior you need has been figured out. On all my new projects I start with a commercial bootstrap wrapper. Wrapbootstrap has a lot of great ones for under $30. [1] The templates come with everything from basic css to the newest wizbang stuff. You can ramp on bootstrap layouts quickly because you can copy entire ui elements from the demo pages. You can also build cascading templates pretty quickly using the examples that come with it since it is always the same layout largely. I would not recommend trying to become a ui expert as top comment suggests, because that takes a long time. Instead, build with someone else’s great work in a bootstrap wrapper and learn as much as you need to move your project forward and no more.
