Ask HN: UX expert advice needed

Hey, we are a bootstrapped startup (4 people, 3 developers and 1 biz-dev) currently preparing a prototype of a web based application. Because we think first impressions matter, we would like usability to be the most important aspect of our application (among other qualities as well).

Now because we have little experience when it comes to proper UX planning and testing, we kindly ask HN if there is any UX expert that would help us out mostly with pointing us in the right directions.

If anyone is interested, drop me a line to tomaz@carmivore.com

Cheers!
