webrecorder browsertrix should work for this. they even have a hosted/paid service which could be better than selfhosting depending on the circumstance.
saving as html with singlefile and sharing manually could be easier/simpler, the concept is easy to understand for non computer people imo.
other than that i recently found out hoardy-web, doesn’t really fit your usecase as this is basically saving everything you see on your browser for personal archiving though. very well made but somehow it isn’t as widely known as other stuff in this area…

One advantage and disadvantage of having webrecorder host our archived pages is that the archive may survive longer than, or not as long as our project.
I have been using singlefile for years. It’s great but not for seamlessly making cached web pages available to the general public reading our reports and finding that cited links are now dead. And it doesn’t support URLs point to PDF, CSV files. A public-facing repository of singlefile files with an index for ToC might do it though. Simplicity is good for future-proofing an archive.
Something like archive.org and archive.is would be ideal, but we have no control over its future and practices.
