I tried the craigslist/odesk/etc. route with pretty mixed results.
About a year ago I found a new strategy: I find sites that I like and email the owner to ask who designed it. Half the time it's someone in house but the rest of the time they're usually happy to pass along the designer's contact info.
It's more time consuming this way because you have to do the outreach yourself, but the quality I've gotten has been spectacular.
- kovar 16y agoI had really poor results from the CL, odesk, and various Django jobs sites. After switching to WaveMaker for our web app framework, I contacted one of the WaveMaker employees who monitored the forums and asked him who they used. He provided me with three superb recommendations. The pre-qualified approach may require more up front time, but in the long run it saves a lot of hassle.
