If it's a relatively small job, places like elance unfortunately are your best bet. Most quality programmers just don't do freelance work, so in many cases, if you only need a small project done, you'll have to go for second rate programmers.
A step up from that is hiring a software development company. You usually get better quality, fewer bugs, the option of support, and the chance to develop a lasting business relationship (meaning the company is less likely to disappear a few months from now, which could render the old code all but useless for future development).
In the end, though, you might want to hire an employee or two. With every project of reasonable size and complexity, you're bound to run into numerous unforeseen issues with specific setups. Broad compatibility is usually an ongoing project, not a one-off job.
