We could do this.

Ive also contemplated hiring freelance coders (from india to the middleast) to assist in this project, but I have limited knowledge as far as rates go and how to monitor or keep track of what your paying for.

I have a customer who pays some guys in india to make websites for him, he tells me it's pennies on the dollar when compared to hiring a U.S based company or even him creating the sites.

Obviously an idea like this will require some approval and there will definitely be some naysayers, but I see it as an efficient and cost effective tool for the current obstacles we face, meaning the lack of free time that our Devs have to work on the code.
