Is there any templates collection (HTML+CSS) for ASP.NET MVC3 Views?

Question

I was wondering whether exists a set of templates to be used in (potentially) any MVC View. I mean a set of predefined HTML tags (maybe just DIVs, palying as wrappers) with id and class attributes, among others, that in combination with CSS renders a complete web page. For example the template shipped with ASP.NET MVC3 in VS2010. You can then pick up a specific template (i.e. one with a table in the center of the page instead of an image) and built your application behind.

I need this because I absolutely hate CSS (or better their application on HTML) because I never get the size and position that I want!

Thanks in advance

Steps to loving CSS:

div.myClass { width: 30px; margin: 2px 0 0 4px; }
div.myClass ul { list-style: none; }

1. Write it neater, like the above:
2. Debug/Develop only in Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Use the brilliant built in CSS editor/debugger in Chrome or Firebug in Firefox.
3. Only use standards-compliant CSS. This is not because I'm a standards junkie, but because this way it's easier to find help in the CSS/HTML community.
4. When the project is nearing a milestone, look at it in whatever version of IE you need and add a CSS to fix any issues you encounter: http://css-tricks.com/how-to-create-an-ie-only-stylesheet/
