Nice to read
Why we gave up web design after 10 successful years

Many web design service company suffer when dealing with 'high maintenance - low income' clients. Very sad.
I designed a few websites using plain html last time. Now, the first thing that come to my mind to develop a website is using Wordpress.

the front-end, what people see, still remains plain html. so you can create something ugly in wordpress aswell.

Nowadays I just look for free wordpress template. The disadvantages are the idea is not original and it takes time to find the best design from the repository.

I read the article you posted and the comments and indeed the combination of free CMS systems and free or cheap designs is killing the business.

I still write everything myself because the demand at work is too complex and so are the queries that is a mixture of databases of different applications.

The same for private customers, all selfwritten to the demands so not 1 button or field too much in the back end and easy to use.

At design I suck but you can outsource that part to services like designcrowd.com ,
not cheap when it's already a big cut of your budget but still better than my own "artwork" or a design that already 3926 sites use.
