I don't think the problem is a lack of writers- more that people don't understand the importance of content within a website structure. The web is saturated with good designs, but not many have the content to actually provide a rounded experience for the viewer.

Also, writers, like myself, have no way of getting their services known- short of spending money on domains, and a design for that website- because once again, the almost, dare I say it, shallow surfers of today cannot see past a fancy exterior.

The culmination of a lack of writers- to a certain extent- and the problems above have led to the visually-orientated company websites we see today.
