Most everyone is already online.. but for those companies and individuals who are not -- they all want to do so
as quickly and cheaply as possible. I was watching TV the other day and saw a new company advertising their get your business and website online in seconds... more and more of these will continue to pop up.
CMS Template systems such as 1&1, wordpress, drupal, amazon webstore, yahoo stores, etc. are getting better and better, they will soon be an idiot proof way for the layman to build a great professional looking website. Over the next few years these systems will get better and better, with beautifully designed templates. They'll be no point for the masses to spend thousands of dollars for custom websites when they can simply get online cheap and fast and with quality.
But go ahead and bet otherwise and become a web designer.
The mere fact that the OP is even looking for a job simply proves my points....
If I had a penny for every web designer looking for work.......
