Deadlines are a big thing, most people hiring want you to rebuild facebook in two weeks, why? Because that's what some flip on freelance.com said he'd do it in for $150.

If that's what you're expecting good luck because your shit's all fucked up and you talk like a retard.

Bingo

And an addendum to that: Hire guys that know about frameworks within their language of choice if the project is new. Organization is going help you immensely down the road when you are hiring new staff to take over things.
