most of those posting here (those companies) are bullshit, amateur and unprofesssional... particularly those who offer some webmaster or whatever for a monthly rate. UNLESS you are just looking for simple design work, they should be avoided in my opinion.

typically, when you start talking to them you will see right away that they are much less concerned with your needs, whether or not they can fulfill those needs or if they can really help you... than they are with trying to sell you right away on something you might not need, before they even really have a serious conversation about it.

its annoying... some of these guys have zero business experience or business sense... they are just cowboys who like the whores in the philippines, want to live there and realized as an after thought that programmers were cheaper there and that they might be able to turn it into a business.

BTW... i'm a dick anyway, so take it all with a grain of salt. ... but the simple test is always just to ask questions and see how concerned THEY ARE with understanding your needs and how hard they are trying to. Even then, you are still basically hiring a person that you know nothing about... and being expected to pay for it without the benefit of a resume', referrences and an interview - which is crazy... even if its cheaper. wasted time and money is still wasted time and money.
