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

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

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!
