Elance
This site is an excellent source for companies of any size. More expensive than Global Mart, Elance works like eBay. Buyers post their projects free of charge, service providers reply to them by posting their bids. The longer the bidding process, the larger the number of providers you would have available to chose from. However, be prepared to engage in lengthy email communication, which can be quite time-consuming and frustrating.

For a small business owner, the best way to get a high quality web presence is to purchase a website template and a logo and then post a project on Elance asking for a website template and logo customization. Given that conceptual work is what costs the most, the template enhancement should not cost you more than $200-800, and you can get a unique and highly professional site, fully loaded with powerful components (i.e. search, Site Map, polls, surveys, etc - all can be part of a template).

For a medium business, Elance can produce an exceptional quality of work with over 70% savings. Make sure to read all customer reviews on a given provider before selecting them as your final bid winner. Prepare to allocate additional 2 weeks for email correspondence and queues.

Overall, Elance delivers a great value for your money.
