I'll hold myself to this one last message...
Kenneth, if you can get what you need for $300, go for it. I for one
have never complained about this. However, I generally find that many of
my clients have been through that stage, and would rather pay a more
substantial fee for a professional job. The age old maxim remains the
same - "you get what you pay for".
If you know EXACTLY what you want, and have the time to spoon-feed your
$300 "coder", then feel free. If you want a company / individual who can
provide expert analysis, then a well-planned, well executed solution
that delivers it, you'll probably be contacting some of the members of
this list in the future, and asking us to fix your first half-arsed
solution.

No. He didn't hit anything on head. He stubbed his toe. I know what I'm
paying for (because I'm the one paying for it) and I'm delighted to pay
for it if it's what I'm paying for. But tell me, why should I pay $3000
for something that I can get for $300? Does that make business sense? If
it does then you've never run a business.
Mac, I think you've hit the nail on
the head.
Kenneth just thinks he's paying for a "coder". Therefore if he doesn't
appreciate what's involved in the job how would he know how to select
the right firm?

nice rant. Now then - is it our fault that you picked a shop that
couldn't
do what you want? How did you select them, evaluate them?
we're entitled to (and get) our approx $100 per hour because we have
years
of business experience, because we can tell clients when their ideas
won't
work - and suggest new ideas that will, because we turn out good quality
code on time and on budget.
and we're no different to hundreds - probably thousands - of development
companies; if you engaged the wrong one(s), then your selection process
is
flawed.
