Suggestions for colours / CSS / design

    So I developed a simple site / app with the intention of learning Angular and some other recent technologies. It's basically a page where someone can add a url and others can comment on it.

    For the front end I used a Zurb Foundation template which is why it has the image place-holders and other links that I need to clean up. I got it up and running and it's hosted on Firebase which is kind of an online data store for json data:

    It all works reasonably well so far and is serving its purpose as a learning exercise. However my front end skills are atrocious and it looks horrible. I tried playing around with the CSS but I gave up as I realise that design just isn't my thing.

    Could anyone suggest a couple of css / design tricks or basic colours that might improve my sorry ass front end?

    Tia.

    The flat palette seems to still be popular enough: http://flatuicolors.com/

    Google will be your best friend here, and w3 schools. CSS tricks colours/gradients and font-weight and style. stick to two font family. Rounded Borders on the div boxes etc etc...
