Looking on the site I see: "Build an E commerce website for multifunctional women\’s clothing line..." The budget is given at $300-$500. Is this even close to realistic? We pay offshore developers $30/hr. I know their agency takes a chunk of that, but a credibly completed e-commerce site for a few hundred bucks?

>a credibly completed e-commerce site for a few hundred bucks? You'll get a slightly customized OSS e-commerce system.

With that kind of budget (~$500) I probably would do the following: - Take open source CMS (wordpress/drupal/something else you know) - Buy basic ecommerce theme - Buy/add ecommerce plugin - Add logo (if not available outsource to cheap logo site) Then that is basically your final product. The freelancer has spent probably 100-200 dollars on theme and plugins and logo. The new website is at least functional and looks nice because everything has already been created. People expecting more for that price range probably aren't going to get anything better than what you see at your typical local business websites (something that looks like crap).
