I'm a developer so I know how to do these things but for the average person...
Where do I type that?
By the way.. What is apt-get? What is nginx?
Why put the index.html in /var/www?
Why use nginx I've heard of apache why wouldn't I use that?
You haven't even detailed how to setup a linux that would use apt. And why not centos?
Where is the site going to be hosted, AWS/Digital Ocean/ Linode/ Heroku? How do they properly configure the machine to serve to internet?
How are my non-technical clients/employees/founders/etc. going to update it without bugging me all the time?
In other words my friend you've grossly over simplified the process of putting a website on the internet where other people can get to it and making it easily updatable by laymen
Exactly, no average person will be questioning the choice of apache over nginx or vice-versa. Nor will they be evaluating choice of hosting provider. The average person probably has no clue what AWS is.
Instead the average person can be expected to google for something along the lines of "free website" or something similar, arrive at wordpress/blogger/tumblr/squarespace/flavour-of-month .com and just create an account.

That kind of average person would be better off just using squarespace.com or similar SaaS. It's what they were designed for.
