I'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'm looking to hire a freelancer for the UX design and implementation, particularly for the CSS component.
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/hour) are all using tooling that generates the CSS for them - particularly Webflow.
I've looked at the CSS that Webflow generates, and it'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't have an existing customer base. I'm also building an MVP to launch with, not something at massive scale.
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?
