Google sites, you can imbed google sheets which adds a lot of flexibility. Not perfect but cheap...

Interesting; never even knew this was an option – I'll take a look!
Thank you.
Follow-up edit: Not sure it's ideal, but it is VERY workable for now; thank you so much for the suggestion!

What about WordPress with the right plugins?
WordPress standard seems WAY too complicated as I'm not looking for any abilities to post anything.
Generally looking for stuff with LESS plugins/bells/whistles.
The intended audience is a sort of "never mind elevator pitches on napkins, we need elevator pitches the size of business cards" group so ... the fewer distracting elements on the landing page-type website, the better.
Thank you anyway for the suggestion, though.

The closest thing found so far is Carrd, but it doesn't seem to allow for the flexibility of Composer.
Basically, need something that effortlessly allows a "WYSIWYG"-type approach to having a single, static landing page with the ability to add a little bit of text, an image or two initially, and the ability to maybe add more images on the landing page OR have a separate "Partners" page where corporate logos and maybe some contact info for a key person could be added.
Pretty much everything so far is overkill, insists on flashy "pre-built templates" that take away from the core presentation and don't even allow for the "look-and-feel" desired.
At the same time, hiring a web dev, even on outsourcing sites, seems a bit too much PLUS maintaining control of all aspects of the site would be crucial for security purposes.
Thought about Facebook or Reddit which WOULD allow for group communications, but have had horrible experiences with both where previous accounts/subreddits were banned "by accident" for technical reasons that the companies agreed were in error, and yet have inexplicably failed to be of assistance in retrieving the data lost, despite agreeing that the accounts/subreddits were flagged "by mistake" via automated processes they developed but refuse to take responsibility for ("It's not OUR fault, "the Ai" did that" ...)
Anyone have any ideas?
I've looked at "landing page" services, but again it seems like overkill with too many things that have nothing to do with what this project is about, and again most of them seem to have this insistence on dime-a-dozen "templates" that clutter the presentation and have nothing to do with what is actually desired.
tl;dr: Looking for a simple WYSIWG web-based service that can (preferably automatically, linked with domain name creation/integration/management) publish a 1-2 page landing site with the ability to edit minimum text and flexibly add photos of partner companies as they sign up.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
