Trying to find a php/mysql/ajax program, just disturbes me.

It says this is the place to vent, im gonna fUY&&*^*& vent.
My skills are old school, dot.com.boom days. Which doesn't mean anything anymore.
I am currently working with phpmotion, I went through various youtube software types, but phpmotion is my best option.
It had been one headache after another, mostly due to my lack of programming skills and knowledge.
I asked if they could do additions and modifications, of course I would pay for, but they are too busy.
The phpmotion forum support is fairly non existent, even simple questions go unanswered. I would rather pay $500 for the software with support than free software and no support.
So I figured, it would be a good idea to search for a php/mysql/ajax programmer, I looked at Craigslist, most
examples were .jpg images, I wasn't impressed.
I looked at freelancer/bid sites, I would prefer to work with someone local (LA/SD/IE/OC), and I do not care to publically give my ideas away to the internet and people more skilled than me.
I looked online, found a company, they caught my eye with the word web 2.0, which is really what looks like what I am doing, we did the NDS so they could show me their examples, it turned out to be .jpg images. I wasnt impressed. They outsourced when I asked them.
I said screw it, and tried on my own, and it is just one little problem after another, what takes me 3 hours to do what can be done in 30 minutes with someone skilled isnt very effective.
I looked around again, found another company, they looked and acted local, but they were honest, they outsourced too.
I don't see why I should pay $3000 when they get a $500 bid, then I have to deal with them, and their India programmers.
I really wish I could find someone local in the Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Inland Empire area.
I use to work tech support for tech companys 10+ years ago, those companys are now defunct or outsourced to India.
I think what I need is an inhouse type programmer, but my house isn't 6000 miles long.
I guess my point is, its sad all the tech work goes to India.
Is anyone in the LA/OC/SD/IE area? I have some modifications that need to be done. I am ballparking 6-8 sites with the same software. I would like to find someone to deal with the tech stuff phpmption/openx and I need to deal with the ideas, implimentation, advertisers rather then the programming stuff, but I am finding it hard to find the right person. I am not giving up, I just need to find the right person to work with.
