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?

      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

    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

    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!
