You can't have one without the other two (unless your website is for personal use, rather than a full scale audience).
I speak as a first hand witness, because me and my friend tried setting up a website, and we've put a good effort into the content, but the design wasn't so good, and the domain kept having problems. Eventually we began to lose our traffic and influx of newcomers.
Launch a website without content and it will take a long time before you start seeing traffic coming your way. Launch with lots of content already posted and you'll find it easier to promote your site because the people you'll be directing to this site will at least find something they can read when they land there.
Some webmasters even go a step further. They do a lot of guest blogging long before they launch their sites and in doing so, establish themselves as an authority in their niche. Some manage to, through guest blogging only, to build an email list, subscribers who'll be notified when their new blog launches. When the blog is launched they already have an audience. It's something anyone could try.
If you are not able to write it yourself, you need to find a good writer who can add value to your site. You want content that is full of useful information, yet you also want something that others may not know. Look for a writer who can deliver great content that will draw visitors to your site.
Along with articles, you will also want to make sure you find images and/or videos that go with your articles. This will break up the article and provide more information and visuals for those visiting your site.
