    OK, I should re-phrase what i said about a single person getting a $10K+ gig; A contract which is bigger than $10K ussually involves the design, content management, a database, advertising and promotion, not too mention research. A single person can't do all of this with a deadline, he (she) needs to subcontract other people; when a freelancer takes on a contract like this, they know before hand they need to hire help, but, when they show the proposal they've included the features the extra help might bring, Let's say you're only a front end designer, but you have a database guy, a programmer, a writer, a flash guru, and sometimes, if the contract is big enough, a producer. Most new freelancers think they can land a $30K gig all by themselves, backed up solely with their own portfolio, a project that big ($$$$$) carries a big amount of features that the client wants, and you need more people to do the job.
