We can all point out bad or horrible web design, at a minimum. We can also point out individual elements that make horrible web design horrible. Nobody here is going to recreate a GeoCities page by accident.
We can also point to good web design, though the particulars of why the design is good might escape us.
A good compromise is to use established patterns (like Bootstrap) which we know to be acceptable, if not stellar. And then to add small custom details as needed to our site designs.
I'm accomplished enough at CSS that I can make tweaks to an existing website. I'm not good at creating an overarching CSS template/framework from scratch, so I don't try to do that.

And if you don't, please take a few minutes of your time and watch this[0] to bootstrap yourself into getting the why.
