I think there's actually more web sites being built than ever, and that the problem is that company's expect more for less.
The WordPress pollution has brought about a revolution in pricing within our field. Companies actually expect full e-commerce for under $1k because they've been spoiled with these easy-peasy systems that can be slapped together in no time at all.
How do I market a team of high end devs, engineers and security consultans to develop a company web presence which Joe Nobody is offering them for $599? Here lies the elephant. Not the folks turning quick bucks at our expense, but the mere fact that it's darned near impossible to convince clients to spend wisely.
There are still companies who know better, but in a world where everyone wants to be a 'startup', it's becoming less and less.
