It is incredible in some teams how difficult it can seem to be to get from "we need a 1-page website" to "ok, it's online and you can update it simply without any more of my help. Here"

And with the difficulty going up, the likelihood that you'll do this when it's needed and makes sense to do goes down. I can't tell you how many times I said "I need a website" and didn't end up posting one, because we didn't have a ready answer to this question, and nobody could be bothered to go out and build one.

Just a simple one page website. I can think of at least three "easy" ways to do it (and that's my whole problem in a nutshell, thanks for coming to my TED talk.)

I think the problem is this... Those who need a simple solution require considerably more tools than a 1-page website should require.

The user specification requires those tools to interact with the website, without technical help, in perpetuity. That's a MONSTER requirement.
