Ok, stepping back and critiquing here, the call to action falls hard on the fact that 'website' doesn't have a common enough definition.
It is in fact trivial to build a web site, one person. My sister did it (not technical) went to WPEngine.com got the basic package, went to name.com and got a domain that wasn't taken yet, and added Google apps for the email component. Boom, "web site" and she is very non-technical, but she does know how to use a search engine.
Then there are the Geo/NeoCitites type things - also pretty trivial. And new entrant Ghost, also easy to do for one person.
Then there are the Github Pages, Dropbox pages, and Google Drive pages (and Google Sites for that matter, an unwanted love child with Jot).
If you are actually modestly technical then it gets even easier.
So that whole "its rocket science" meme doesn't really fly and that takes away from the whole 'this is hard we're here to help' theme.
