I already had Photoshop skills ... you just need knowledge of how the rest works), and set up my own web development company with a programmer friend from Uni (he's back in Lahore now ... so we technically have an offshore development side).
In fact we used my negative experiences in dealing with Development Firms, the same experience that you are going through now, as a foundation for the marketing of the business. It really strikes a cord. So don't think you are alone ... you most definitely are not.
Web development is the biggest rip-off ... they are worse that second hand car salesmen.
