Thank you for the tips. I don't have much of a problem with HTML4, but when given a blank page and asked to design something pleasing, I have absolutely no idea where to begin. Most of my colour combinations are awful. I am not sure about page utilisation etc. I'm learning CSS and jQuery whenever I find time.

Pick a grid framework you like. I recommend either using the grid framework in Bootstrap[1] or Skeleton[2]. Skeleton I prefer because it has sensible typography from the start, and slightly more padding than you usually find in grid frameworks. These will help you control spacing and layout pretty easily. As for color, you can find a palette that you like on colourlovers[3], then just work by varying what colors you want to use and when.
