Well, it's an art. Some people are good at it, and some people are not. A lot of people know how to do the coding, but don't know how to make it look good.

I quite agree with the opinions made above.
Still you may try to improve your skills of designing either by taking up a training course or by simply brushing up your basic skills.
As a part of informal training I tell many of the students to study carefully the good looking websites and try to analyze why it looks great - the design, the layout or the choice of colors .
Now while designing your own website always use a storyboard first. Consider different possibilities with layout and color and finally select the most appealing one. You may use image editing software also to design a template. Now use your coding skill to implement it as closely as possible.

Always consider public opinion on your designs. It will help you to improve a lot. It really takes some time to become a good designer. But still to be a great designer is simply an art and nobody has yet been able to decipher the chemistry of art.

Hope this helps.

To be honest, beyond just having the talent, it takes time and a lot of experience to design those truly beautiful sites you see out there. You can have the "gift" but it still takes work. I'm sure you know the saying:

"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."

I guess you have to be a pretty good web designer to design such website.
You have to have good inspiration and a lot of talent.
