I wonder all those startups have 90% the same website.
Are you guys using WP themes you customize? Or does anyone try to style home page very well? I am curious why all those startups even without 2 cofounders being technical always look so smooth and styled properly. I didn't see ugly wp home page in a while..

To give a decent look for the outside look, we usually buy some HTML template and customize it our way, and keep focussing on the real product that lies behind the curtain.
Of course, with time the homepage evolves and changes accordingly.

well, even in this thread all people have smooth made websites, and they didn't even apply for YC yet. Also all those companies from YC14 batch(http://yclist.com/) - they all have websites well done even for the mobile apps. I wonder why\how. Not a single team has an ugly home page

There are a bunch of beautiful landing page/single page Wordpress templates specifically gear toward this stuff. http://themeforest.net has a bunch among many other places
CSS frameworks like Zurb Foundation's and Twitter Bootstrap are pretty popular now and make it tougher to make your site look ugly. I bet that has some influence.
Majority use http://www.squarespace.com if not that, then very similar templates.

Today is easier to get a beautiful template and customize it than building something ugly from scratch.
