I tend to use the following layers :

Data - Bus - Bus Façade, I then consume the Bus Facade from ASP.NET (or fat
client) as this is quicker, then to integrate with 3rd party's I consume the
Bus Façade from a webservice, the bus facade is hosted in a .NET remoted
APP.

Web Services is Service orientated architecture, good for other apps talking
to your backend.
Remoting is Object orientated architecture, good for your APPS front end
talking to your apps backend etc.

Just cos you ASP.NET can use the WebService on the same server it does not
mean its the correct thing todo, but I would say building the functionality
into the page is bad, have a look at remoting.
