A long time ago, website creation and authoring we're left to the web programmers since they are the ones who understand the nitty gritty behind all those programming algorithms. This trend however has changed over the years with the help of third party applications that allows users to design websites without paying attention to the whole coding required.
Today, websites are not restricted to HTML anymore and it's normal to see a website with its own running database to organize its data even if it's just a simple blog. This is where content management systems (CMS) come into the picture usually featuring Joomla, Drupal and the obsolete Mambo.
Content Management System
These CMS are quite handy specially for those people who really don't understand the working of web programming. To put things simple you wouldn't be able to make a database if you don't have basic knowledge in database management and web programming. They do have a disadvantage though since their layouts are pretty bland. If you want to change themes then you have to buy one from an online theme shop but it may still not look like how you wanted it to be.
For people who really need an extremely customized theme for their website to convey the right mood or theme there's an alternative called PSD to Joomla conversion. This alternative uses designs made from adobe Photoshop as the working layout for the Joomla or CMS theme. As of today, there are a lot of web developers who use PSD to Joomla conversion because the costs of conversion are way cheaper than planning to build another CMS.
Websites have really come a long way ever since the internet started. It's becoming more and more dynamic and user friendly than ever and in the near future it's impossible to know really how websites will evolve again.
