Questions

I thought of gorilla techniques, like for example asking a student or volunteer, but for the moment no answer. I've tried Upwork and Fiverr already. My goal is to improve the flaws of a competitor's website and come up with a better UI/UX (which currently they lack).

Direct Answer:
You can't really get cheaper than Upwork or Fiverr or Craigs List. And you'll get what you pay for.
Since you have a starting point (your competitor's site), you could do it yourself on paper: print it and draw your edits, then give it to your front-end dev. (with their code pulled from their page, if you need to).

Longer Answer:
I deal with a lot of startups that hope to build a digital product that's a "better" solution.
I'd caution you: only IF and AFTER you have figured out on your own what your potential customers/users need, and have concluded that the compeitor's site meets (some of) those needs (even if partially) should you use a competitor's actual visual UI/UX design as your starting point Otherwise, you'll just expend effort to make their poorly fitting design less poor. To get and keep customers, you need a GREAT UX, not just a better UX. No customer is happy with a poorly fitting UX that fits their needs less poorly than another business.
Analyzing your competitor's product/service to make your own design fit your customers' needs well, is smart. Copying their design, might not be.

If this helps and you want more guidance and specific design advice, get in touch here about having a short intro call.
