Fiverr surely is the site where you can find people doing various kind of stuff. For instance you can get Bhangra dance from this guy :

And now to the point - and I'm pretty sure you're understanding the whole thing - some people chose to be webdesigners and that's their profession, they are making a living this way. This thread might sound insulting to some of the designers who work around - and they are pretty awesome professionals.
You have to understand that your post looks like the story of a guy who goes in a cowboy bar and calls the people around " Rednecks" - the same thing is here. We know it's a crisis, economical difficulties around, everywhere - but trying to bring down to the dust the work of people who would take care of the good look of your business is not good step - thank God that there are people who values the work of designers and don't justifying their cheap nature with the world crisis or the economics.
Have in mind that most of us already lowered our prices too much to fit the needs of the business. More than that is to work for free.
That thread just made me sad - I'm not trying to insult you or to play a bad guy I'm just tired of explaining how important is the work of the designer to client's businesses, or especially people who think that any job is quite easy and their nephew or 2 years old sons can photoshop it with success.
I'm pretty sure that you can make that indian guy on the above link to make 5 bhangra dances for you on the price of one.
So sad... so sad.
I'm out.
