Maybe if "you're no designer" you're not the target audience? There are definitely a wide variety of other ways to do this, but extending a designer's knowledge of CSS to include minimal interactions is a nice way of leveraging existing know-how. jQuery is a bit of a mess conceptually, outside the core.
But designers use google too and they look an pages where developers or other designer are.
And on this pages you find tons of solutions and howtos, it is not so complicated to understand simple animations and events.
