When installing new front porch railings, safety and local building code should be a first priority

The best way to find out your local building codes is to reach out to your local city office. If you do hire someone to do this project they will either pull a permit (which will then ensure you have done things right) or you will need to talk with them and make sure they are doing things up to code prior to the work.

In my opinion craftsman style railings can take on whatever your personal style is. They have a look that can be accented by many different styles of homes and decor needs.

This is such a soft way to add a slightly modern feel to the traditional  white porch railing, and is something I am heavily leaning towards with  our own home

This gives the porch railings a very minimalistic and modern overall look, while allowing you to see into the porch or deck fully.
