Client-friendly websites

Today I went to a volunteer organization's monthly meeting for their new website to be presented. I did the design (but not the coding), as well as the logo/identity.
After the meeting was adjourned, a few people came up to me asking for some design services. My only concern with one woman was that she said her organization already has a website, but nobody is trained in maintaining it and they have no way of adding content.
Obviously not every business or volunteer organization can afford to have a web designer in-house. This woman was a volunteer for a non-profit, so I doubt I could even charge them for *me* to upload content for them.
So, what's the easiest way for laypeople to upload content to their website? Give them an FTP client and some carefully worded instructions?
