No. A volunteer-run organization should be able to keep its website current without anyone technical: on SorrelSites you describe the change you want in a sentence, see a preview, and publish when you're ready. And when you move in, Sprout reimagines your website as three new designs built from your own writing and pictures, for you to choose between — so you don't start from a blank page. 3 min read · Updated 2026-08-17 Most small organizations have lived one of two website stories. In the first, one kind volunteer built the site years ago, and now every change waits for them — and dreads the day they step back. In the second, the membership software came with a website tool, and it fights you hard enough that the site quietly goes stale. ### What "no tech person" should actually mean - The person who knows what the page should say can be the person who changes it — the communications chair, the secretary, whoever. - A change is described in plain words — "move the fall banquet to the top and add the new date" — not built out of blocks and settings. - You always see exactly what the change will look like before anyone else does. Nothing goes live until you say so. - Nobody has to remember how they did it last time. Saying what you want is the whole skill. That's how the website works on SorrelSites: describe the change, look at the preview, publish when you're ready. And if you're moving from somewhere else, Sprout reimagines your website from what you've already written, and one of the designs it offers is the closest match to the look you have now — so review starts from your own content, not a blank page. A useful test for any tool: could your least technical board member update the homepage tonight, alone, without calling anyone? If the honest answer is no, the website will always belong to one person — and one day that person leaves. ### Not ready to start a trial?
