There may be too many colors
- Look for every possible source of color and try to get rid of colors until you only have like 3 or 4.
  - Even small things like the borders on textareas and inputs, and the colors of buttons, will contribute to a general sense of "this doesn't look good" if they don't match the 3 or 4 colors you want to use.
You're using standard fonts (Times New Roman, etc.).

  - Roughly raw and rugged
  - Uncomfortably ugly and unpolished
  - Deliberately daring and damaging
  - Extremely exasperated and embittered
UX brutalism (Satire)
