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.
Excatly.
My designer/programmer gets $3 an hour and thinks he's robbing me. Without him I would not of had a site, cos if I'd of had to pay what some of the US/UK designer charge the site would never of got off the ground. And a lot of people would not be enjoying my work.
