Meaning don't necessarily look for a template, but look at the sites
you actually use, and find one that has already solved the problem
that you are working on and copy it. Not pixel for pixel of course,
but this can be a great way to get started.

But if you insist in create simple pages for you own... Search for
some concepts like "color harmony" and "golden ratio", that may look
attractive for human eyes.
