HTML and CSS are not used to design sites, and that is perhaps why your designs are not turning out well. A well-designed site always starts with a blank piece of paper and a pencil, or a blank canvas in Fireworks (or photoshop or whatever you prefer) and progresses from there.
Only once you have the site looking good in your graphics program, does the html/css come into play.
