=> "makes you wonder about the level of competency of the average web development company"

Our competency on projects where we are being paid a full domestic consulting rate is quite high, thank you.

Now, if you're asking us to compete with cut-rate bids from some online freelancer exchange, we will reduce the level of service and QA to match our competitors in that space....

Eg. you may have Nordstrom's service for a Nordstrom's price. Wal-mart service for a Wal-mart price. But don't expect Nordstrom's service for a Wal-mart price; that usually isn't going to fly....
