Not necessarily so. More and more, we're seeing rich-content in-browser website builders which allow customers to have their lunch and eat it. You get to customize and modify your page (optionally with WYSIWYG) online, publish it on the fly and have it generated and stored in cache somewhere in the blink of an eye.
