Ship with basic design and improve after reaching 200+ users

Fancy landing pages and polished branding are premature before validating product-market fit. Launch with functional but basic design—a simple landing page with clear CTA is sufficient. Invest in professional design only after you have 200+ users proving the product works. This prevents wasting resources on polish before validation.

When to use

During MVP phase when you're validating product-market fit. Focus budget and time on core functionality, not branding and visual design.

Don't do this

Spending weeks or money on logo design, elaborate landing pages, and brand guidelines before you have users or revenue.
