Some web developers are hackers (we mean that in the nicest way). They hand-code the website to meet the custom need. We applaud that; more power to them. But we're integrators and we like it when several standard, well-supported components can be artfully combined to solve the problem. Here's a great example.

American history is chock-full of rugged pioneers who take pride in doing it all on their own.
