I'm so sick of hearing "you get what you pay for".
People who pay alot get fucked over all the time too.
You don't get what you pay for, but you do get what you deserve.
If you hire a guy/company based on price alone, or on a 5 minute interview, without checking references, without checking other projects he's done, without asking for some sample code, then you get what you deserve.
Charging more doesn't make you better.
Same thing goes with hosting companies. The ones who charge the most tell you it's because they're the best, but that's not necessarily true. I've had excellent support and service from lower priced companies, and had bad experiences with expensive ones that were supposedly the best.
Do your homework and don't make snap decisions. If you're in a hurry, you need to ask yourself why the guy who can start right away, can start right away.
There's an old saying,
if you want to get something done, give it to a busy man.
