Great writeup. Another approach I've seen to get inexpensive face-to-face work is to call a local high school (sometimes college) and ask the CS teacher if any students have some knowledge in web development / mobile development that they gained outside of school, and then see if such a student wants to work for you. It's usually a good deal for the student since they get to improve their skills and learn more while getting paid better than a bagger's salary, and it's a good deal for the boss because the student is probably a quick learner and can fill in any knowledge gaps quickly, plus a part-time work agreement during the school year is a low-risk trial period that can lead to full-time in the summer.
