Had to get new Indian programmers

I outsourced development of one of my websites to an Indian firm. I put the project up for bid on GetACoder.com. After accepting a week of bids, I hired the best rated firm that submitted a reasonable bid. They had many positive reviews, and submitted a bid that was mid-range so I figured I had a winner. But here we are six months later with a semi-functional site. They weren't a total flop, but clearly just didn't have the horse power to deliver a polished final product. But ultimately I guess you get what you pay for. The price was simply not enough to really deliver a quality product. I have now hired another Indian firm that is charging me $800 a week but includes a dedicated programmer, project manager, and QA engineer. Their references are very good so hopefully this will work better. It is a little frustrating to lose all that time, but I guess it's a learning process... Will post more frequently on how this team is working out.
