Affordable Web Development Ideas

I was reading Debra Mastaler’s post on quality link marketing vs. cheap link building and I couldn’t agree more with her thoughts. This got me to thinking though…
What other channels could a low budget web developer take to save money, perhaps in an attempt to have more to spend on a quality link marketing plan?
Then it came to me - $20 banners. For those of you who are not familiar, 20 dollar banners has been creating quality banners at extremely affordable prices for years. They do banners for sites such as Vbulletin and other big name sites, as well as smaller online businesses.
If you have an artistic touch there is also a place to create a banner for free but I really recommend going with one of the affordable custom banners as the free ones use pre-made templates.  Of course after the banner is made the site owner will still need an advertising spot to place the banner but they have probably saved a lot of money by using such an affordable banner creation service.  So there is one way for a startup site without a lot of cash on hand to save money without trying to implement a cheap reciprocal link building plan.
