Hello! For context, I really like web development, but I feel like it’ll be useless if I can’t even design nicely, my websites usually look kinda crappy, unless I have a specific design in front of me (I get them from the Frontend Mentor website), THEN will my websites look better, and modern-ish. Even though I am kinda good at html and CSS, How will I learn to make websites look actually decent, and when someone has a look, they’ll be like “Yeah the guy who did this really knows what he’s doing!” ? (edit: It even got me super frustrated at one of the lab projects in the curriculum!)
designing a website is a different skill, web design is a field on itself
the curriculum does not touch much on that, it focuses more on how to add styling to elements
you may want to find some short courses on web design if you want to go deeper with that

Try making the design of the site purely visually, in Photoshop, pencil + paper or however.
Then try implementing it in HTML/CSS etc.
Yeah. Definitely will try that!
