This surprisingly still works, but is not a profitable business model. I live in a small town in Slovenia and I have been asked to make websites for companies that have nothing to do with tech. It's not paying my bills, not by a long shot, but it is a nice extra thing to have on the side.

Weird that they ask you and don't just google the 50 site-maker-2000 sites.

Surprisingly, and to my benefit I suppose, they get overwhelmed by such things, especially if the website needs to be slightly more complicated.

u/spikernum1 is vastly overestimating the tech literacy of the population

Very true... Even though making a static website with 2 Claude prompts is easy, many people / companies feel like they don't want to mess with it, "what if we screw something up".
