Most ways of putting up a conventional website don't make updates easy, unless you buy into some whole system, or pay someone. If Sheets is familiar and works, why not?
Arguably the fact that the website is more likely to be accurate and up to date this way makes it more user friendly.

- seattle_spring 3y agoFunny related story: I have nearly 2 decades professional webdev experience, including a cumulative decade at a FAANG and a "decacorn". My HOA was looking for someone to take over maintenance of their website for events and photos and other super basic stuff. I volunteered along with some other lady who only had experience maintaining her church website in WordPress. The board chose the other lady without even talking to me "because she had deeper WordPress experience." The site still looks and functions like it's 1998 /shrug
