I'm moving to a design based on http://prgmr.com/~lsc/css/ - very minimalist (when I'm done, most words on that page will be links to more information)
The idea is that I have no taste. I can come up with something that conveys the idea, but I'm pretty much operating on blind trust when choosing a designer.
I can give you a long list of links to designs that I've got from people which were either clearly bad, or that other people told me were horrible.
In my business, credibility is very important. Well, that, and price, but I'm the cheapest of my competitors by quite a lot, so it's really only credibility I need to worry about. A web presence is part of that.
I was also approached about writing a book on the subject, so I imagine that will help: http://nostarch.com/xen.htm though I clearly have missed the hype sweet-spot.
Comments
time. Resources. Lack of artistic/design skill
(actually, I'm selling about as fast as I can get servers up, so marketing is not high on the priority list right now)

Horrible, no?
