Disclaimer: I'm a frontend/fullstack dev. One of the methods I use is browsing other sites and taking inspiration. You can even inspect their elements if you'd like to see how they the style (don't copy paste!). Other suggestions: - Team up with someone with some ui skills - Use a css framework: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks - Choose a color scheme and add some margin and padding to everything and stick to the scheme. - React component libraries are becoming much more general purpose and easier to use. If you're up to sinking a few hours into it, try create-react-app (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app) and then use a react component library like material ui (https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui)

When development of v1 started, JSS was the only solution that (with some tweaking) met all the needs of component library (as opposed to say, an application), as well as being one of the most performant. The thread that this comment[1] is in is where it all starts, but the repo and presentation linked from that comment should give the answers. At least as a snapshot at that point in time).
