I'm curious about the relevant economics here.
A fully automated system for designing websites could make it easier to design good-looking websites without hiring a designer.
If your system works perfectly, that allows someone who wants a website to save: (1) the transaction cost of hiring a designer, and (2) the cost of the designer's labor (wages). Additionally this person has to "pay" the cost of learning to use the automated system.
Which of factors (1) or (2) is larger? I imagine it's probably (1) -- the hassle of hiring and managing a designer is large relative to the actual cost of labor. Does that sound right?
