I can code everything my startup needs, but we don't have a good graphic designer. I suspect that we could go a long way with a few mockups from a great designer.
Of course, good designers tend to be expensive, and I suspect hiring a really good one would blow through a good chunk of my savings :[
Do not forget that, especially in the startup's case, graphic is a continous process; the design is constantly improved, new usability problems are found every day etc.
