This was my business model back in 2007 and it worked very well. Back then we used WordPress as the backend. Times may have changed now that there are lots of site builders and amazing off the shelf Themeforest templates. You can get a pretty custom looking site using WordPress and a $60 theme.
If you are serious about this, one thing to look out for is clients who are window shopping. They will waste your time and you might build the whole site only ro have them cancel after 1 month. Thst is why we went with a setup fee + monthly fee (e.g. $500 + $50/mo) so that the client has some skin in the game. I would also be careful with unlimited revisions...that is something that will eat your margins. Also, you should clearly spell out who owns the rights to the design in the event the client cancels (can I take my design with me?).
