I think this is key, pick a good design system and it will cut down on how much you need to learn and tinker with.

Personally I like plain HTML and Django templates, styled using Bulma components. I don't think about color, other than the high level "warning, danger, info" level. I don't think about spacing other than the "m-2 m-3" granularity. I don't mess with react, node, etc.

This approach helped me launch backend oriented websites, without needing to be a FE expert.
