I know that I'm stronger with back end stuff, UI certainly isn't my strong suite. As a result, I like to design the UI first, get it sorted and out of the way, filling it with dummy data just to get it done. I then am able to program the back end to fit into what I've done on the front end.

Same, I've been taking this approach as of recently and things have been going well thus far

Usually you do a bit of both at the same time like mix and match. Really depends on what time of backend your working with, ex: Firebase, PHP e.c.t
