I used to be able to source high-quality developers for small front-end projects from Upwork.

Simple things like build a custom page in Shopify that we already have designs for in a Figma file. I would pay above market rates to get the best talent.

The last 5-10 projects I've tried hiring freelance developers for have been total failures. I'm talking about "Top Rated Plus" developers unable to build a simple page with no interactive elements within a week, and quitting because they can't figure out how to finish the project.

Does anyone here have any suggestions for good developer marketplaces? I've learned after this current project that I'm done with Upwork, because even filtering for devs who have billed 1,000+ hours, are top rated and based in the US and they're still totally incompetent. It's truly strange.

It doesn't make sense for me to hire a full-time dev because we don't have dev work every day.
