You have no identity. What's your company's branding/identity?

It's just grey and black tbh It's not very interesting but like how far do you want to get into design? It's a whole separate field Might not be worth it One quick thing I can suggest to make it a bit more professional looking is the "8 point rule" That'll clear some of the spacing issues

i am using the 8 point rule i believe but i want to make it like modern but also nice on the eyes not really sure what to change up

Have you tried finding other apps that have the same look you're going for and copy what they do?

I already gave you what I can: get inspiration from other websites/magazines/media that have the vibe you want to go for and start playing around in a design program like Figma Design is hard. If you don't want to put in the work that's totally fine too; it's a whole separate field. But you can't expect to spend a couple days at it and come up with an amazing design I should really write a blog post about this but I'll give you all that I know 1. Create a brand identity. Even if it's just your own project. You need some basis of what you want your website to look like/convey to the end user 2. Think about what kind of content you want on the website. Seems like you already have this down as you already made the app. 3. Gather a ton of inspiration into a moodboard from other websites, magazines, movies, any media that fits the brand identity/vibe you want to convey to the end user. 4. Make wireframes in Figma/Adobe XD/Sketch/etc. Wireframes are easy ways to understand what content and layouts you want on your website. 5. Make a high fidelity mockup. 6. Iterate iterate iterate over your designs and play around with different layouts and design elements, even if you think they'll be bad. Right now you just really don't have a design, so I can't give much feedback.

I suggest working with a grid. You might want to use some placeholders or use actual data to complete your design because it's hard to judge the design without the variety of content in it I can't be sure of your design process but I think this would be better as a low fidelity wireframe rather than the high fidelity empty content screen it is now. Hope it helps
