You might want to post your request on Microsoft's USENET group for
Frontpage "programming":

If you think about how people gravitate between jobs, the really  
talented ones move up and handle the more desirable tasks, and the  
less talented ones and beginners handle the less desirable tasks.  In  
my own experience the tasks you describe are the bottom of the barrel  
in the web design world, and its unlikely that someone who is a "zen  
master" is going to going to want to handle them for the prices you  
quoted.

From the point of view of standard business management practices  
there's most likely a good case to be made for switching to something  
else immediately. Without knowing any details its impossible to say,  
but I'd hardly call advice to the contrary "B.S.".

Best of luck!
