[Sheflug] Web Server document permissions

I don't know if theres a definitive answer for this one, or just various means 
with various drawbacks, but anyway...

On my server, the web directory (/var/www/html) is owned by root and under 
root group, which means that any time I want to alter the webpages, I have to 
create everything, upload it somewhere else, then su into root and copy 
across, which seems like a very cumbersome way of going about it. Are there 
any ways that this can be stepped around without it being too insecure?
