I don't think there exists a single person who both a) cares about "clean, semantic HTML/CSS/JS" and b) can't build such website himself. Now if you forget the letter soup and instead go for "clean, stylish design and magnificent UI" you'll find as much work as you had back then. If I ever decided to go that route again (tried, failed) I would create several micro web agencies each targeting a niche. An agency specialised in websites for accountants, another one specialising in websites for architects, etc. Businesses spend a surprising amount of money when buying "premium". Follow that money.
