I think that if you hit a situation where you want to create something, but lackthe expertise or time in house, it is perfectly reasonable to outsource. Sometimes "good enough" is the best way to go for a startup. I think you should have the expectation that at some point you will have to completely redo it (although that is a risk with any development). The cost of repeated work is often worth the value of iteration and speed.
