Is there a good site to hire programmers for little projects?

Question

I need to a piece of php code that goes beyond my abilities so I need to hire somebody to do it. It's not really something too long or complex so I wanted to know if there was a straightforward way to post my request and find somebody to do it for a certain amount. Does such a website exists or what's the best alternative? Anyway thanks a lot

Answer 1

Check out the following sites:

• oDesk
• eLance
• scriptlance
• vWorker (originally rent a coder)
• Rent A Coder
• Code Monkey For Hire
• FreeLancer

I know someone that reasonable success with oDesk.

Answer 2

There's a number of such sites, however, with the experiences that myself and some friends have had as a programmer on these sites, I can't in good conscience recommend any of them.

My suggestion is to get better at what you do: ask questions on StackOverflow if you can't immediately figure it out.
