So you have a great idea, you are 1% of the way to a successful App. The rest will rely on how you execute, and getting a low-budget iOS developer will result in a low-budget implementation, even if you bring on a consultant to guide the process.

Let's not forget that you will need a designer to, at the very least, produce the graphical components, even if they don't design the UI from the ground up.

Bottom line, if you are unable to do any of these pieces, plan on spending a legitimate amount of money to get to a releasable product.
