A tonne of mostly front end work is now done in tools like wix and even on the higher end wordpress has taken over a lot of it. The only custom front-end web design work tends to be clients with deeper pockets but local web design shops for small business are largely a thing of the past along with the hosting etc.

Aside from the job losses we've lost a gateway into our industry for graduates.
