I think you're playing yourself down here. You can build websites, so you have the perfect skill set to solve (almost) any problems.
Just get out there and find out what problems people have. Ask a bunch of people which websites/apps drive them crazy.
With a bit of luck they will mention ones that they use regularly or pay money for. Once you find a niche product idea, come up with a way you can test your hypothesis, Lean Startup style.

The unsolved problem space that is solved by building a website is shrinking year over year. It would seem obvious that you need a larger skill set to solve problems no one has attempted yet.
No, for each new startup, there are two more startups that can be built on top of it. The funny thing is that rhere are not fewer ideas down the road, idea generation is exponential.
