The rush to build big desktop sites is largely over, and the stragglers / late adopters are the most likely to value lower-cost, lower-risk solutions than the early customers. None of that should be surprising.
There's another wave coming: although most top-tier web sites have already done it, a lot of these SMB web sites are going to need to adopt to a mobile-first world where more of their traffic is coming from phones.
I'd suggest that's the right place to look, but you should always expect that any industry so close to technology is going to evolve continually towards greater automation, because it's populated largely by software developers who are the exact group likely to implement that kind of automation.
If you want a job / industry that doesn't evolve quickly, you need to be somewhere with large amounts of physical implementation and low risk tolerance. Like bridge building, or oil drilling, or mining. People can go their whole careers in those industries in largely the same role, because they're more about repeating the same process exactly and dependably than attempting to quickly innovate.
