Seems you want to code your own addon UI? If so, first you have to learn how to program. The best book for programming in WoW and Lua (the script language WoW uses) is World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons, which will teach you the basic of programming, lua and WoW stuff. Good for completely novices and programmers that want to learn how to code for WoW.
Keep in mind though that UI programming is the hardest one when it comes to WoW because it requires a lot of knowledge of Lua and how WoW handles a bunch of stuff. That's why UI addons like Tuk and ElvUI have more than one programmer and thousands and thousands of lines of code. I don't know if you're already a programmer but, if you're not, start by making small things and then go bigger. The book I suggested you is a good way to start.
It definitely has a steep learning curve and documentation can be difficult to follow, or find, at times. There's a book available that provides full documentation
I've personally come a long way from when I started developing WoW addons, but I did start from where you're starting now. It's been a journey of using the websites you've listed and a lot of googling.
Feel free to message me with any questions and I'll try my best to help out where possible. Alternatively, I commonly use the developer discussion forums on wowinterface.com to seek a lot of assistance.
Lastly, what software are you using to code with?
