If I could offer some advice from the perspective of a developer that has built several MVPs and done all my own design work. (FWIW Two of my MVPs made it to real businesses generating over $1M in ARR each.)
Find a product that has a design you want to emulate and just copy it. Copy the colors, font styles, font sizes, element spacing, drop shadows...everything. For the illustrations or other content that is copy protected, just buy something that looks similar from shutterstock or some other website. I've followed this model repeatedly.
Design is important because a polished website can make you look like you are a larger, well established company. But it's not worth your time as a founder to master design.
That being said, the design on propertysquares.com looks amateurish and makes me feel like you are small.
