A comical thing about many "cutting-edge" SaaS startups: no one wants to do the website; no one owns it. I have seen it many times: marketing people imploring the programmers to push a little change to the website, only to find that no one is available for the task.

Logically, it makes sense as websites usually get updated only once in a while and it would foolish to dedicate a resource to it. But, it also adds a great difficulty in building a tiny thing, even if something like a contact page.

I guess big companies have more organised processes and teams to handle this. But, in startups, everyone is already working on the core product and everything else seems like a distraction.
