Forms are definitely one of the things css left behind. It is not easy to make one look good. You should be able to do it though if you have some knowledge.

It's quite difficult for me to explain exactly what to do because there is no set way of doing anything but just think of a grid on your page and make sure everything lines up nicely.

If you have anymore specific question please reply.

W3schools.com will help you. There are many sites which will help you.

ignoring syntax, this is a layout example
