Avoid sites like Scriptlance and RAC, I used to use them when I was in mainstream and it's true what they say, you pay for what you get. I couldn't believe the prices some people were quoting but in the end the project was reposted due to lack of communication or some other thing such as, oh yeah, the work was shit.
I'm not saying it is always like that as there are genuine people on there but most of the programmer market is foreign hence the cheap prices but the work lacks the quality that you expect.
Always go by word of mouth and examples. Ask people you know who have had programmers and what their attitude to work is like.
Paul, my hubby is a programmer who works full time on a mainstream site. He isn't cheap but his work is good, maybe I am biased but then again the site he works on wouldnt have went into partnership with him and split the profits 50/50 if he wasnt good enough to keep around..
Ask your friends or colleagues who they have had work for them in the past, but seriously Scriptlance is not the way to go.
