Astonishing. I just saw one offering on scriptlancer.com: "Business
website redesign". The advertiser wants 3 sites redeveloped, each of
which is between 73-95 pages. Graphics and logos to be developed as
part of the job, and it has to be "FrontPage compatible" (an oxymoron
if ever I saw one). Budget? $100-$250. The sad thing is that there
are 10 bids for the work.
