Many web apps might be written in haskell but I assure you many many many more are written in ruby. I very much doubt you will find a haskell developer willing to build your web store in haskell for $15/hour. With rails you can just import Spree, make a few modifications and host it and you are done.

I write Haskell web apps, and I used to write Ruby web apps. You don't need to assure me; I'm well aware.
If you're in the realm of "import Spree, make a few modifications and you are done", then sure, use Ruby.
The products I work on just aren't that generic/trivial.

The market is larger than you think. I have hired people before at $15 per hour. I have people working for me now at $23 per hour. Not everything needs to be stupid SV money.
