Depends on where you are and what level of technical management skills you have. Quotes in this thread will come from places that push out apps based on templates and without any sort of long term maintenance plan (thats why they seem cheap). They will cost you more time and money over the short and long run. What are your technical management skills? People forget that cheap developers tend to need to be managed a lot due to language barriers, time zone differences, and other factors. When you hire a more expensive developer you are also hiring someone who can manage the project (to a greater degree). Freeing you from many headaches and time sinks. Cost will be around 2500 to 4000 a week depending on their amount of experience. More expensive hires are available but they have more demand and do get to pick who they work with. Have you ever built a software product? If not, you should go with more experienced people that can manage themselves.
