You might want to post a bulletin in at a local college. I’m sure there are plenty of students who need the money and will take anything they can get.

There probably are developers that will work for minimum wage. But bear in mind that experience and skill play a big role in what a developer charges. If you find someone willing to work for minimum, don’t expect a lot from them.

I think it mostly depends on what you need – is it a basic site showcasing your products and services, or is it more along the lines of a database-driven e-commerce site?

"It is a big website" can mean two things: it is complex, or it contains "a lot" of "pages".
Place your request with freelancers (ie http://www.rentacoder.com): you will get quotes from "emerging economies" that are usually quite low.
Nevertheless, "cheap" and "well made" do NOT stand in the same sentence.
Some amateurs will offer you a site for 300$, but it won’t work or will not be appealing, while I would not even consider anything below 4500$.

You have to take into consideration that most developers have had to go to Uni or had many years experience in their field.. Asking someone with that skill set to work for minimum wage is asking a little too much..

Consider using a host with all the necessary tools..
I suggest you have a look at http://www.hosting24.com they will register a domain name for free for life and come with unlimited webspace and unlimited data transfer and you can go with them on a monthly basis.

They come with a website wizard and plenty of ready made scripts to accomplish what you are after.

Also when you sign up with them if you enter in a discount code they will give you 25% off their ridiculously cheap hosting plans. code to use is 25OFF

I host all my sites there and have been more than pleased with their help and support which is available by phone support! I hope this helps

Lou
