I would avoid off shore developers at all costs. It'll be more costly for your business if you didn't pick the right ones, or not managing them correctly.
Even if you did pick the right developers, you will have to spend time to teach them about design. Design is completely off when it's done offsite.
Agreed, I've never had a design come out nicely from offshore. Maybe I worked with the wrong folks but it has been consistently poor every one of the times I tried it.
