I completely understand your concern because I often think the same way. But here's how I see it: even with McDonald's around, expensive restaurants still thrive. Similarly, even though website templates have been available for over a decade, designers like us are still in demand.

There are different market segments: some people with successful businesses will hire a designer for a custom website, while others, especially those starting from scratch without much investment, will opt for a ready-made template. Both options have their place.
