I don’t want to talk to someone in India or far away, I want to meet in person and discuss a web based business I am contemplating. I do not want to POST my job and have others respond, because there are Intellectual Property issues involved in that. I want to locate self employed or independant Web Developers in my city to discuss possible designs. Any suggestions other than Craigs List will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There are dozens of sites, but these are some good ones I know:

http://jobs.arstechnica.com/
http://jobs.freelanceswitch.com/
http://jobs.smashingmagazine.com/
http://www.thinkvitamin.com/jobs/
http://www.actionscript.org/employment/search_freelancers.php

The virst two are particularly good ones. The last one I know is best for Flash related work, but I bet you could find a general web developer on there as well.

[edit]
You should really ignore the second comment, the one about just Googling. Just because someone is high on Google does not mean they’re good. There are ways to get high on Google that are actually illegal and would get you banned form a search engine if you were ever caught. Likewise there are literally thousands upon thousands of developers.

Your best bet is to head to a good site with job postings for developers and post a job and see who responds.
