As a small business owner who has paid for web design, yes I think you can make money at it. I was looking for some help developing a unique look and I found it and paid for it. I looked for someone who focused on the art, and we used SquareSpace to implement the site. This has worked out well because SS doesn't seem to go down and they have analytics baked in. I'm not beholden to the designer for hosting like I have seen with other small business websites. Other companies I've seen doing it have been focused on a vertical, telling their customers that they'll solve all SEO problems and all that for a small initial investment and a monthly fee. I haven't believed them yet so they don't have my money.
