Programs for layouts?
The same programs that make regular web pages also make templates since a template is basically just another web page.





You can also use graphic design programs like Photoshop and PhotoImpact and create your full page graphic and slice it into pieces and generate the HTML code.





I have two designers who help me a lot and they often will make their own templates. When we use Joomla it's quite easy to design your own template. Joomla is Content Management System that makes it very easy to setup an entire website.





For today's modern and industry standard web pages you use a mix of HTML, XHTML, CSS and graphic design programs. I personally enjoy using Microsoft's Expression Web and Frontpage and Dreamweaver.





One of the best ways to learn is by studying some of those templates that look nice to you and see how they created them by viewing the source HTML and CSS code. That will given you an idea how to get started and what's required.





Below are some helpful source links for you.





Good Luck!
