Being a life-long football player and technical type thinker, I have never been known as the "artsy" type. However, as you correctly pointed out, design (and typography) is a skill that I must work hard to improve on, in order to make my websites/web apps as visually appealing and inviting as possible.
But remember this, no matter how "artsy" and beautiful your website is, make sure you are firstly, pitching to the right targets, secondly, make sure it works and thirdly, make sure that it is actually performing some kind of useful task for them, be that connecting them to their friends, showing them how to cook an omelette or showing them pictures of kittens dressed as Hitler.
