There are tons of website builders that allow you to create simple (to rather complex) websites nowadays. Squarespace, Jimdo, Wix to name a few can be great tools depending on your needs. No technical skills required, content creation and publication tend to be pretty accessible and all the hosting and domain name handling is usually fully taken care of.
I'm myself working for a French startup called Pikock[1] that is working hard on the next iteration of its drag-and-drop website builder. We're trying to make it as simple, efficient and streamlined as possible so that everyone gets a shot beyond the tech-savvy. Our core vision is that everyone, no matter the skill level is entitled to a presence online if they so choose.
Ultimately I want my 65-year old mom to be able to create content and share it with the world, even though there might not be an audience for her collection of hand-painted pebbles :)
