Totally. Web is still a very dominant platform and will remain as such. Even mobile platform vendors like Google seem to support (and even promote) web as a first class choice for delivering content and apps on mobile devices.

You'll inevitably cross paths with backends that power the web and can grow into a backend developer as well. Also, today developing for web frontends and native mobile/desktop apps is more similar than ever.
