You may want to consider styling around an existing framework, something like Flat-UI, Bulma, Ink, or Bootstrap.
There are also a large number of complete designs at sites like Open Source Web Design that are free to use.
I also highly recommend reading Typography for Lawyers, in particular the section on layouts. In large part, documents (which includes websites) look "good" because they follow various design conventions that have been with us for a long time, and I would argue that good design work (at least up to a point) is about learning and applying the "rules," and developing an eye for them, which I think most people can do if they give it enough effort.
As long as you do the work yourself, it's a great learning experience (both on the design side and the CSS/implementation side), regardless of which route you take or even how it turns out in the end. Try to view it as a journey -- having a nicer looking website is unlikely to change your life, but the skills you'll develop in the attempt just might.
Good luck!
