Odesk, Guru, Elance or hire Local?

[dec360]

Hello everyone,


I originally posted a longer version of this post in the wrong area. I think it fits better here. Can someone please tell me how to erase the other post?




I am currently at the point where I need to hire a web designer and don't know how to go about it. The design will be very simple nothing flashy. The hard part will be coding the function of it since its a new concept so I need a really good coder for that.


Should I look for a web designer locally or go with something like Odesk, Elance or Guru? Can I trust these companies or the person that will build my website not to sell the code or platform to someone else? Have any of you worked with any of these companies? What has been your experience?




Is there anything I can do to protect my website from copycats during the early stages?


I am also trying to come up with a good marketing strategy. Any good threads on this or good books I can read?


I would greatly appreciate any comments or thoughts on this and thanks for reading!
