resources or advice on CSS / general layout guides for sites?

i'm working on projects for a portfolio and i'm at the point where functionally things work, but they need to look good at some point too lol. i'm trying to dig through resources online, but a bit overwhelmed. does anyone have a general guidelines they've picked up or just resources they found helpful?

check out bootstrap, its what i use for personal projects, its not too fancy but not too ugly
- thank you! just browsing through real quick looks promising. have you used tailwind before? I'm also seeing info about that and the benefits between bootstrap vs tailwind
  
  Tailwind is more flexible but imo Bootstrap lets you make a coherent looking page without that much effort.
https://bulma.io if you don't want to use bootstrap.
I wish I knew, I can tweak CSS here and there but actually taking it from start to finish is beyond me for anything but simple sites
+1 for bootstrap and maybe bootswatch
Use something with flexbox so you don't have to fight legacy layout pains.

Use something other than bootstrap because everyone knows what it looks like (it looks like 2012) or at least use an unpopular theme / customize it.

Keep it simple!
