I’m not a designer (far from it!) but I like the think that the service I’m building is needed and works well. How important is the design of my website? Do I need to hire in a professional to launch?

Design is crucial as it directly influences user experience and brand perception. A well-designed product can set you apart from competitors and build lasting customer loyalty.

Ah, design is like the charming curb appeal of your website - it's the first impression that counts! While you don't need a rocket scientist in design, a professional touch can take your service from good to stellar.

Super Important. Good design helps in making products intuitive, accessible, and enjoyable, which can drive engagement and satisfaction. As a visual designer, I believe that aesthetics combined with functionality can set a website apart in a competitive market.

Extremely important! An eye catching design will grab someones attention and draw them into what you’re promoting. A good design will only get you so far - you then need valuable content to keep their attention. The writing part is an area I struggled with which is why we’re launching our product tomorrow to help with that :)

Super important. People do, often times, judge a book by its cover. Your website shows your brand, your service, and your value. Definitely invest time to make it stand out.

Think like you have a business in food industry (or any physical product). Assuming food as your USP (Unique selling point). If food is just hand over without any packaging or without any branding. Only few will approach you. But with better branding and packaging, help you create an image subconsciously in your potential customer. With that said, your customers get the experience you want to give and can drive a lot of potential customers to buy your product. And also from observing your packaging in-spite the food inside customers can assume and conclude few things. That how much important it is to have good design. Depending on how you want your packaging and according to you design preferences you can get your designer.
