It's a win-win situation for everyone but the designers who lose out in the price war. And its not that quality suffers - a person from Estonia charging $100 for a site may be give a much better result than the $1000 designer from US or UK.
Since nearly all webmasters on this board live in 3rd world countries, and make less than 100$/month, your post hit the jackpot. Estonia isn't THAT cheap either (even though morons from finland come there to buy stuff)
