Clearly you'll need both devs and designers. The theory behind hiring a good designer/frontend dev is that it'll allow you to iterate on UX much quicker, which is usually a bigger win for your customers.
Clearly this is generalized advice so take it with a grain of salt.
- larrys 14y ago"Clearly this is generalized advice" It might be a good idea in your blog posts to not write them as so absolute and more circumspect (for some of the points) since the devil is in the details for most things like this. And it's hard to cover all bases with the appropriate caveats in a short blog post. Statements like this clearly indicate what has worked for you and are good "One thing that has always worked really well for me is to hire a freelance designer and developer to build the first version of the product." (helpful) while a statement like this is to absolute "I’d recommend your first employee should be a designer with strong frontend dev skills. Do not hire a customer support person." in part because there is no caveat as to which cases and types of startups this applies to. Good info though just something to think about.
