My tips, with 30 years experience in programming, and web coding since it was born…
1. DON'T use any WYSIWYG editor (such as Dreamweaver).
Too long to explain why here.
2. DO use a standard editor for your code (Notepad, Notepad++ are very good).
3. DON'T get involved with any off-the-shelf scripts, such as osCommerce, Miva, Joomla, Drupal etc: it is a waste of time and you will get headaches just trying to adapt the code to your needs.
4. DO Learn HTML, a bit of Javascript, PhP and MySQL. Just write simple stuff to start with. You learn as you go along.
5. DO use http://www.w3schools.com, http://www.php.net and mysql for samples, lessons and trials.
6. DON'T buy or read books on the subject: the web evolves faster than the books are printed!
7. BE TWO persons: a Designer and a Coder: they are different people! The designer makes nice static pages. The Coder (behind the screen and not often rewarded for his hard work) makes the site WORK interactively.
8. DO check/debug your site on IE6, IE7, Firefox at least: they make 91.5% of users.
9. Do check/debug on Opera, Netscape and Safari ONLY if it is a request from your client. (I can't give a *** for the 8.5% other users who are probably computer illiterate anyway…)
10. DO call back here: there are pros that can help!
Good luck.

I recommend writing a short job spec for a specific project (or several). Submit that at Guru.com and you will receive many responses. Some will be boilerplate (standard text) and some will show that people have taken the time to examine your project and respond. Ignore the former and work hard at qualifying the latter through references, questions, and their interest.

This has worked well for me and I now have a short list of partners that I use constantly. Some are in India, some in US, and one is in Eastern Europe. The work is going well and the costs are attractive. The key to my success, thought, was working hard up front to qualify the partners prior spending any money, then giving each of them a single project with no additonal commitments. One didn't perform well and I dropped them. The others have been with me for over a year.

Good luck!
