You say to have minimal HTML. So I'd say phone a friend for the UI/UX - Don't under estimate how much work has to go into the front end of web apps. In my experience users now expect full rich applications in their browsers, and the effort required to create that typically ends up being 80% of the work.

The backend always basically ends up just being functions to shove data in/out of database tables - which is kinda easy.

I hear you. Good front end is a lot of work, work which I might not have the ability to do just for an MVP. Thanks for the suggestion!
