Uunfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view),
there are utilities for creating web pages now that take most of
the grunt work out of it, except maybe for the most sophisticated
pages with animation, and they continue to improve. All those jobs
at ISPs designing web pages will eventually dry up as individuals
are able to create their own pages at home doing not much more than
"pointing, clicking, and dragging". An analogy is how much work it
took to do desktop publishing in the old days, where you had to
manually embed special commands in your text to switch fonts, or
position a graphic, and there was no WYSIWYG like we have today.
Now, just about anyone can design a newsletter, and the same will
happen with web pages.
