Do you think Google Drive (and others) are secure enough to store personal financial data like Quicken? Sometimes all you need is an email and password to get in.

Lots of forms. like registration and updating user info etc.

Lots of pages that list data using tables. Different logic for changing what gets displayed on the pages. For example, showing something based on a user being logged in or not.

We are thinking of hiring a contractor or elancer. Looking around the web, I see hourly rates from $20 to $250 per hour. I realize, it would depend on experience but how can elance.com contractors charge so little? What price range should I expect to pay for a contractor to work on UI and back-end work?

yes, I know SQL Server, HTML, CSS, I have been working with JQuery for a couple of years now. What concerns me is my backend server language. Thanks, I'll brush up on my HTML5 as well.

Interesting... I didn't think of leveraging my ASP skills. Thanks.
