I've been working on my first project in Django and Python, and I've been finding that the coding takes way less time than trying to get the design down. I'm okay with HTML/CSS and know my way around Photoshop/GIMP, but anything related to design still takes me forever. Anyone have suggestions on where to find designers willing to join a startup?
I'm in a similar position, and usually turn to a designer friend that I've done business before (he's my "go to" guy for anything design related).<p>That said, if you're just starting, you could just buy a design (from sites like <a href="http://themeforest.net/" rel="nofollow">http://themeforest.net/</a>) and then tweak it according to your needs. The end result won't be the same as custom designed by a designer, but it can often be good enough for early iterations of the product/app/site.
