Can't add DIV or change css in rails app?

Hey guys - so in this I'm trying to customise the design of the app. So I'm trying to add divs to the index.html to create the layout I want but it does nothing even when I add style to the div like

<div style=" border:3px; border-color: #000000;">

What am I doing wrong? How do I customise the design of a rails app like this?

I'm used to HTML/CSS coding so that's my reference.

You just have to make sure that you're adding the code to the right view or layout that is being shown at that url. But otherwise, Rails uses html in it's views.
