Option 1. Learn to code. It really depends on the complexity of your application, but for absolute customizability, there's no shortcut.

Option 2. Pay someone to do it. Since you're not from a tech background, it could leave you prone to being ripped off. I'd suggest outsourcing it for cheap to India or something, but you have to be extremely careful and monitor it very closely to ensure you're getting what you paid for.
