now I do realize that I am not able to create beautiful menus and so on, using .NET 3.5
It's not true. You can use CSS to styling the default asp:Menu as you desire. Use background images etc. Following tutorial will give you some idea about how to style the asp:Menu control with CSS
Please remember that menus, UI and colors are not the area of .NET. Whatever version you may use. Its the field of HTML, CSS and Javascript (jQuery) with some skills of Photoshop.
Ultimately all asp.net websites get rendered into HTML. So, you're best guide will be to master HTML and CSS technology. BTW, there are plenty of very cool jQuery and CSS based tutorials out there that teach creating very well styled good looking menus.
If you want a simple menu then go for plane html, css. If you need some effects to the menu you'll need Jquery to that. If you are thinking of advanced menus ...Think no more....Just go for "Telerik"
