I recently had a meeting with the head of a small business association in a local town. We talked about my career path regarding web design, and he seems to believe I should not be focusing on custom web design. He says the trends are heading more and more towards CMS. He told me his company just paid $25,000 to go from a custom site, to a drupal site.
I was curious to get your experiences and opinions on this issue. Is there a market for custom freelance web designers, and if so, is the competition too flooded as is, to continue pursuing this path, and increasing my skills in this field? The problem is I love making custom, and can't see myself learning and specializing in CMS based programs...unless they are easy to clean-code.
Thanks,
Gary
