Question
I'll soon be looking for a web designer to relaunch my website. I'm hoping to find someone who can not only handle the design, but the actual implementation.
Eventually, I'd like this site to be able to support eLearning, online paid-for content.
I've used Freelancer, Crowdspring, DesignCrowd for small design projects with varying levels of success. Any platforms you would recommend to track down high quality freelance web developers?
Answer
Crowdsourcing platforms are mixed experience. Sometimes you'll get someone really great, other times you will hit rock bottom.
The key would be to find an individual or an agency that has both the experience and a name. We live in a service and relationship based economy, so aim for an individual or a company with a reputation to keep. They will likely go the extra mile.
