suggested tools for trying different fonts / colors / layouts? Minimalist / simple?

I'm a developer working on some personal projects, and I'd like to get better at the design + aesthetic side so the pages actually look better.

I've tried Figma and Gimp, plus some other tools ... everything to me is a bit too complicated though. Basically I want just a quick way to try font, color and layout combinations.

Any suggestions ? Anything that's more simplistic / less features / less complicated ? Thanks :)
