Are you looking to just make websites or do you have any experience building web applications as well?
I do full time front-end development for a web application. I'm not too sure what the demand in Vancouver is now but when I was working there the demand seemed pretty high. I'm not too sure what the demand is now though.

My girlfriend is a fulltime web developer who works predominantly with Wordpress. She left her job working for an agency in December and had about 4 offers by the time she accepted a job in January. Interestingly, almost all of them, including the one she took, is a contract position rather than full time employment.
FWIW both she and I were looking for employment at the same time, I'm a designated accountant, and we found that although there were way more potential jobs I could be qualified for, she had a much higher percentage of her applications go to a job interview.
Hope that helps
Mark

demand is insane. some factors:
are you coming in with a CS background?
are you a desginer/artist as well?
good with Photoshop?
Can you do backend development? (databases, servers)
Do you know how the internet works? (http, DNS, security)
