An Outsourcing diary

Conor O'Neill has posted parts 1 and 2 of what he hints will be a regular series chronicling his 'Outsourcing Adventure'.

"When we started looking for dev houses, we assumed it would be trivial
to find expertise in web application development. To our dismay, most
vendors idea of a web application is a web-site with a bit of PHP. We
worked through tons of unsuitable vendors whose sites tell one story
but whose expertise tells another."

Well worth subscribing to for any internet entrepreneur. We haven't done much in the line of outsourcing ourselves but did use elance a few years ago when we got a Russian programmer to write a javascript menu. It worked out well and was good value. As regards our logo though we just went with Gotlogo.com, “home of
the $25 logo”. Granted they might not be top class but we were quiet happy
with results considering what we paid.

Thanks James,
I hope it'll be useful. I've spent most of my career as a services provider and I'm finding it very interesting being on the other side of things for a change.
