Start at rentacoder.com(lots of individual coders). Another option is elance.com(better for larger projects; more companies bidding). I was a top coder there in high school(early 2000). These days I use it exclusively to hire coders and designers for very specific projects.

Hi, this is Nicole from Rent a Coder. I'd like to thank you for recommending our service. A couple of important points about Elance: 1. Elance workers can't make more than 3 bids a month unless they pay a subscription fee ($9.95/month for 20, $19.94/month for 40 or $39.95/month for 60). This could reduce the number of qualified bids you receive -- and workers may pass these fees on to you in the form of a higher price. (There are no such restrictions at Rentacoder.) 2. Elance charges $199 - $399 for each arbitration case, and its mandatory pre-arbitration processes allow an abusive worker to stall the start of arbitration (consequently preventing you from accessing your money for weeks... 21 business days in fact). Making matters worse, Elance's arbitration process is tricky with each part of the process elongated with 3 - 15 business days in-between. Rentacoder doesn't work like that because it places time limits on arbitration responses. As a result, 45% of Rentacoder's arbitrations are completed under a day. 75% under a week. What can be particularly frustrating is that Elance doesn't publish the detailed rules of its arbitration process. Rentacoder does, of course. There are of course, many differences between our service and Elance's.

If you have any questions, please let me know. You can also call in to talk to a facilitator 7 days a week, or email us (see http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/Feedback.asp http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/Feedback.asp).
