While I was nodding my head in agreement while reading your comment, this sentence disturbed me... But the average person in many of these small organisations (even the tech team) is probably confused by a simple WordPress install or even the process of uploading files to a web hosting account. If a "tech team" can't even upload a file to a server, that is really a piss poor tech team and in general shouldn't even be labeled as such, IMO.

Yeah, tech team probably wasn't the right word there. It's more 'random guy with a computer who's got the free time and feels like working on the website'. Or maybe the office admin whose entire experience with computers comes down to sending email, typing in Microsoft Word and browsing the internet. So no, not really a tech team, and obviously they'd be absolutely terrible compared to anyone who actually knew what they were doing. But the general point is still the same: these organisations don't usually have a tech savvy member or employee who could set this up. And if they do find someone to help them out, I suspect a fair few agencies would struggle with anything that wasn't basic HTML/CSS, WordPress or an online service.
