I have had both good luck and bad luck. I hired one company to develop a site for me for $4500 over a 60 day period. I had paid them $3000 and a year later the project was not done and it looked as though they had stopped working on it altogether.

Money not well spent that’s for sure!

Now when I hire someone from a freelance site I always hire one of the top rated people. You will have to pay more for sure, but you get what you pay for.
