I think that your minimum rate is too high. A lot of developers would like to branch out and get experience with new technology but with a minimum rate of $100/hr you really can only offer your most familiar language/platform. Someone with 10 years of building Java apps, could build pretty good Android or iOS apps, if they could find a customer who would accept that career history at a lower rate. Honestly, I think that a $25/hr minimum would make more sense and is more in line with the real world.

There are already tons of websites for cheap consultants. Why would they create 1 more? I think it is good they have a differentiating feature.
There is a strata between "cheap" and "elite" which doesn't seem to be served by either.
