Answer 1

You can create some websites as exercices. You can also check some links about things like... "Why is this combination of colors better than this one" or "How to create an attractive website for the users who come on your website",...

Tough, don't forget one thing: you can read articles
or other things to improve your skills in some domains, but you have to *imagine* a design.

If, as I said, you read stuff like articles to learn things about design, you'll have to use those knowledges trough a design that you imaginated.

Answer 2

If you like to read : Design for Hackers by David Kadavy. It talks about color theory, proportions, composition..

Answer 3

for color combinations I use Adobe color palate , for cool texts i refer any light weight Google Fonts and for icons I refer bootstrap glyphicons or Google icons.
for design framework there are plenty to pick, namely bootstrap, material design, Zurb, w3c CSS , etc they ll help u give professional looks with just adding class names.

for layout and all I do trial and error on chrome Dev tools, it's pretty awesome to do tweaking for ur design
