A college friend based in LA asked me how he can find a firm to totally redesign and rebuild his company's web app. They're running on 90s design and technology and need a complete overhaul.

How can he figure out what good app development shops are out there? I suggested he attend some local dev meetups and ask them. But, I also wanted to check here.

Know of any good app dev firms or places to find them?

I often see people building a web app with the assumption that if they build something cool, people will come. This is rarely the case.

How do you market your web app? Engage bloggers? Use a PR firm? Advertise online? Buy traffic through SEM?
