    Perhaps sebastianavina is trying to take a longer term view. That if local web designers are all priced out the market by Google, as they can't work for free and live, then there will be no local web designers in India. No local web designers is going to mean that any distinct local style, artistic innovation, is going to be quashed.

I wonder if some less scrupulous designers will attempt to front-end these sites; charge for design and then use the Google system to make the site, etc..
