At some point, I needed a logo for my hobby website. Nothing fancy, just better than what I could cook up with my non-existent creative skills.
I asked 5 different people on Fiver to create one for $5 each and chose the best one.
This is obviously an example on the low end, but you could expand this to the $500 dollar range per designer for a full website template and still end up with a decent looking thing for $2500.
I do but having to weed out the obvious template modifiers first is very annoying. In particular for design tasks (logos, infographics, etc) you have to look through at least 20 profiles before getting an idea on who is having original ideas and who is just modifying the same 50 templates over and over again.
