Our business runs solely on our website so its a core aspect of our business.

Where I could use some insight is: 1- Can we afford to hire someone here in the bay area and would they want to work at a small albeit growing business (are we priced out of the market?)

2- Will we only be able to get a dev that does not have much experience?

3- What have your experiences been with switching from outsourced dev. to in house? Was it worth it?

4- How to go about finding this dev. since its highly competitive? Where to look and post?

Thanks so much for any insight you can share.
