Being a good developer and being a good designer doesn't always go hand in hand.
Your project is a one month side-project. Not only does it work well, but it looks great as well.
May I ask how you did manage the design part of your project ?
Thanks -- vhf (my side projects were ugly as hell till bootstrap came, and by now I'm tired of its look. How dare you come with a one month side-project not only usable but also good-looking ! ;) )
The best way to get good at design is to practice a lot.
For example, I'd recommend not using Twitter Bootstrap until you're comfortable doing it all the hard way. It will take time when you start, but over the long run you'll be in a much better position if you know your CSS and know how to make it all look good.
On the latter point, create a favorites folder called "Well Designed" and save pages to it that appeal to you. Take a few seconds and ask yourself what about it makes it look good. Inspect elements using your browser's built in inspection tools and see what the developer did to make it look that way. Then try to do it yourself and repeat.
