Why are you interested in subcontracting as opposed to finding a full-time job? Subcontracting is very difficult even when you're experienced, more so if you're relatively junior.

Based on what I've seen around Denver/Boulder, most of the Python work is at software companies that don't do as much outsourcing as agencies. I put together a list of +80 web companies around Denver/Boulder, and only a couple work in Python: https://crowandraven.com/blog/web-design-development-agencie...

Thanks for the list, it's a little surprising to see WordPress and Drupal doing so well. I'm afraid I've been underestimating both of them. I also didn't realize the popularity difference between Rails and Django was that large.

My heart isn't set on subcontracting, it just looks like a good way to go if I can make it work. In the past I've found that good jobs come through contacts and I was hoping that through freelancing I'd meet people. Plus Denver is changing so fast I barely recognize it some days, if I can freelance or work remotely I keep the option of relocating.

I love the name of your company, it's very poetic. I really like the homepage too, the text effects and zooming are nice touches. Unfortunately it wrecks my poor little computer, it acts like it might have a memory leak? Even so, I'm a big fan of whoever is taking care of your aesthetics.
