Here's my outsourcing story: I run a busy web dev firm in the USA and we needed a way to speed up our project time lines while still maintaing high quality. The easiest way for us to do this was to outsource the front end code so we could concentrate on design, usability, marketing and back end development. You would think that outsourcing HTML/CSS would be fairly easy. Turns out that many of the companies offering front end coding (from a layered PSD file) have no clue what they are doing. In fact, there were times we provided them with a complete, highly detailed spec and even wrote some of the markup for them and they STILL managed to screw it up.  We tried several different firms before we found one that actually knew what they were doing and would adhere to our specs. Now that we've been working with them for about a year they understand what we need and can consistently deliver quality work.  Just a quick note about the cost: they were a bit more expensive than the other firms we dealt with but I'll gladly pay a bit more if the work can be done right the first time :) BTW - the company we work with is called XHTMLized I highly recommend them for front end code.
