You website is built with a powerful open-source Content Management System called "Joomla".
Content Management Systems have been around for decades, and there are hundreds of "CMS" platforms to choose from; they all essentially provide the basic ability for a site "administrator" to manage the front-end (publicly viewed) elements of a website through an administrative back-end (private) control panel area.

Joomla has been developed and maintained by a community of expert programmers who decided that it would be cool if there was a CMS platform that was open to the public, so that everyone could benefit from the advantages of having a powerful CMS without having to build their own from scratch.

This allows any developer to build "extensions" that can be plugged into the Joomla framework to add features such as blogs, ecommerce stores, banner management systems, social networking components, and just about anything else that can be though up (there are over 3,000 extensions listed in the Joomla extension directory). Website owners can pick and choose which extensions they want to add to their site, and expert developers can even create new functionality from scratch.

What this ultimately means is that advanced websites that may have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop just 10 years ago, can be rapidly developed and deployed for much less; and much more quickly than ever before. More importantly, learning to operate a Joomla site once it's been set up by an expert makes is quite easy, and allows website managers to do their jobs quickly and efficiently without requiring much technical expertise for anyone to serve as their company's "Webmaster".
