I don't know about outsourcing, but here's my take:
When I was teaching myself web development; through trial-and-error, reverse engineering other people's code to see how it works and why, working with people who called themselves "developers", I've realized something... There are many, many ways to arrive at a solution. Some good. Some not so good. I've used a few pre-built scripts / programs / packages online to help speed development. And like I just mentioned, I worked with people who did things differently than others, but still provided a solution.
I realized, the best solution is to either code it yourself or find someone who codes it in a way that makes the most sense to you (something you can learn from, modify to your whim, and actually use). If you know nothing of how how to build something, this, obviously, isn't an option since you don't know what you're getting, but only that it works / doesn't work.
In regard to outsourcing, I'd say this:
-- Make sure you both completely agree on what the project entails, to the most exact definitions and deliverables that can be defined; functionality, design, (whatever).
