Well as for the function of the site, I gave the coder some ideas from other sites, like shirtcity.com, designashirt.com. It seems like he just copied these sites as opposed to doing as I asked and giving me the same functionality with a different style. Of course I believe the gold standard for this kinda site is BlueCotton.com. Their studio is one of a kind and I'm sure quite expensive. I've noticed a few times when loading images in my design lab that the products sometimes appear off centered. However I'm the only one doing testing so if any of you visit and notice errors in loading please let me know. Also support is a big concern, it has been a hassle keeping in touch with this offshore coder. (The time change makes communicating difficult) It was my understanding that some support would be provided after the project was complete for atleast 6months of the business opening, After that I would have full time person to maintain issues with the site. I think our American Culture is rather difficult for the designer to understand as he is from India, so I've spoken with a very good graphic design artist that I attend college with, and he will provide the template. As for cost as you know Getafreelancer has several price levels, I chose to put my project between $300-$1500, I received private messages for a complete professional site with shopping cart and support for $4000-$5000. However I want to focus on the design lab, In which most coders have offered for $500 - $1500. Yahoo store would be my backend system for security reasons.
