I recently used Elance to make updates to my blog site. It was a great experience.
There are lots of talented developers in the world just looking for a chance to impress clients and make a decent living at it. On their site, you can search for talent that meets your project needs.
Then, once the keyword searches find the companies (they call them providers) that can fulfill your needs, you can then search by Feedback, Reviews, and Hourly Rate. I personally looked for those with 95% or better Feedback, at least 5 reviews, and an hourly rate up to $20/hour.
I used Candid Software for my first project and was extremely pleased with their work. Someone once said (I think it was in The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman) “Work will get done where work gets done best.” I believe Elance has figured this out and has a great way of getting work done.
