I've done some posting on elance before and I will suggest to start with the smallest job (i.e. cheapest) first to get used to working with bids and vendors. Start with a logo + business identity for $300-$500, go with only 5-star people with 6+ months of feedback. Once you have that, do a 3-5 page website for $300-$500. By now you should have a good feel for (1) the process, and (2) the people so now's the time to bump it up to a $1000 or $2000 project.
Those places really aren't the place for $2000+ projects IMO.
- ucdaz 18y agoCan anyone share any other places for $2000+ projects? Much appreciated! =)

- STHayden 18y agoIn my opinion 37 signals has the best job board with the best jobs. But personally I think the people applying also expect a better wage\price to come with that. For companies to attract truly the best UI designers I do think they have to pay a bit more for them. Though there are plenty of young cheep talent out there. They perhaps are not the best.
- ScottWhigham 18y agoWhat specifically are you wanting? SEO, web design, SEM - all of those could be separate $5000 projects apiece (or higher).
- radley 18y agoActually they can, provided you state that you're looking for that level of work. Many studios operate through these services and simply turn-over the small stuff to the junior developers, or use templates.
- bigtoga 18y agoIn my experience, elance is not the place for large jobs (and I've tried). I would strongly suggest people not start out w/ a large job on elance and instead start w/ smaller piecemeal-type work.
