Honestly I'm very bad at CSS and not good at dealing with color / design.

Are there any helpful sites for things like pre-made, nicely skinned component, or layout of the whole site?

Thanks!

I used the "Free CSS Template" website. When I created my web site they didn't have a lot of designs, but the ones they did have were clean, complete, and elegant. Pure XHTML and CSS. I had no trouble tweaking to fit my needs.

One day I will work out why somebody downvoted this... the referenced website is perfectly valid as an answer to the OP's question.

same thing for my accepted answer...why the sudden down vote on an answer that was accepted over a week ago?

A slight tangent, but you may find the book The Principles of Beautiful Web Design an interesting read. It is aimed more toward non-designers looking to expand their design awareness.
