It depends on what you mean by web developer. That used to mean taking mockups done in Photoshop and turning them into HTML. Today that narrow role on the team is often outsourced or does not pay very well.

If by web developer you are referring to what many now call a "front end" developer then yes, that field is very busy and can pay quite well. Front end developers are expected to know a popular JavaScript framework (such as React) as well as CSS and HTML. Front end development is a dynamic and exciting field. I've been in and around "web development" for roughly 20 years and it is quite fun and has quite the future ahead.

Just last week the top trending article on HN was about how you should start with a web app instead of a mobile app. Today there are really powerful and much easier to use frameworks than what we had compared to just a few years ago. I say, if the web truly interests you then dive in head first and pour your heart into your work and most of all SHOW YOUR WORK publicly so people can find you and know you. That's how you find great teams.
