Strategic laziness is a good thing: if you can't or don't want to do it yourself, pay someone else to do it for you. If you have no experience designing graphics or writing copy for the IM audience, you'll do more harm than good if you try to do it all yourself.
For instance, you can easily get a wicked banner done for under twenty bucks. How long would it take you to learn how to properly use Photoshop? Hours, I would imagine. And even then...lol.
