  Those tools have existed since the mid 90s if not earlier. Frontpage. Homesite. Go live. Somehow designers still have a job. The fact is that it's not the technical skills or tools, it's the taste that matters. Give your average person a pretty template and they will still fuck it up.

  Use the new tools. Tell great stories. Use the money you save on not doing custom development to kick ass on the creative direction. Or stand out from the templated masses with a more integrated design that you could never do with a template.

  There's never been a better time to be a designer.
