Hi Peter,
I agree this is the way things are going for small businesses.
There is no reason why small companies shouldn't be able to buy a package that provides an efficient e-commerce site for them and allows them to tailor certain aspects of the look-and-feel to add some individuality.
The problem is when you need to do something clever with the data or include a user dialogue that falls outside the standard formats provided.
I therefore think that the market for standard web design for small businesses will shrink rapidly, with these businesses only requiring some graphic design help.
Larger businesses, however, will still need the flexibility to create their own controls and have complete flexibility in the communication with the back-end databases. Most of this market is actually for Intranet applications rather than Internet, where bespoke integration with other installed applications is often a key requirement.
Regards,
