Ask HN: How do you write CSS in 2019?
I&#x27;m a solo founder with a backend-development background and low artistic ability. Although I can write the backend, JS and HTML without issue, I&#x27;m looking to hire a freelancer for the UX design and implementation, particularly for the CSS component.<p>Sniffing around the freelancer marketplaces, the international freelancers with solid portfolios who are prepared to work at the lower end of the pay scale ($15-20USD&#x2F;hour) are all using tooling that generates the CSS for them - particularly Webflow.<p>I&#x27;ve looked at the CSS that Webflow generates, and it&#x27;s extremely lengthy and not intuitive or human readable IMHO. Code generation also makes me shudder from an engineering perspective. However, I am self-funded and I don&#x27;t have an existing customer base. I&#x27;m also building an MVP to launch with, not something at massive scale.<p>What would you recommend? How should I approach CSS development for an MVP in 2019? What are the gotchas to these code generation tools, if I should use them? Or, should I hunt down and pay for someone who can develop UX and code CSS by hand?
