Spending time designing in photoshop and then "cheaply" "outsourcing" HTML and CSS development, aka your _actual_ website, is a terrible idea. There are people who implement designs well, and they are worthwhile to hire if you don't know browsers; they're certainly not cheap.

It depends on what you're doing. Yes if you're doing a large scale project that's mission critical you want a front end pro and wouldn't dream of going cheap. But on the other hand say you have to do a single simple landing page for a one time marketing campaign it would be silly to bring in the best.
Also as a designer I find myself telling potential clients that they don't need a designer and should just go with a template or a logo from 99designs. For the longest time I hated doing this, but I realized that if someone wants to spend from $10 to $500 to do something that I wasn't the right person for the gig!
