I'm not too bad at front-end development (especially if someone else does the design and mockups), but I don't have great design or UX skills. I really like starting with balsamiq for mockups, because I can figure out the functionality and don't have to think too much about the design. And then I like to use a UI framework with a set of pre-built components, and maybe a theme. Bootstrap is great for that, and you can get some great themes so that it doesn't look like a "bootstrap" site. My favorite UI framework is Ant Design [1], because they have an amazing set of React components that are really nice to work with. I was blown away when I discovered Ant Design Pro [2] (which is free!). It's an "out-of-box UI solution for enterprise applications". Basically a fully featured dashboard built with Ant Design, including things like authentication pages, charts, etc. Everything you need for a side project, and it's easy to strip away all the stuff you don't want.
