Solo web design/dev is an industry that appeared out of nowhere, filled a massive void for a while, and that vacuum is collapsing in on itself with Squarespace and efforts like this one as the once-impenetrable field becomes commonplace. But Ikea and custom carpenters coexist. Tailors/seamstresses and Macy's coexist. Programmers and designers will have to learn to live in a world where Squarespace and Wordpress are accessible enough that a startup or small business can hack something together that's good enough for a while without employing an artist. The industry won't go away completely, but the fraction if it which can be replaced by cheap or free mass-produced/general-purpose products will be.
