HOA Website Key Benefits
Cost Savings
Have you realized that an HOA website can help reduce your printing,
mailing, postage, and administrative costs plus provide residents
24 x 7 access to your neighborhood information? Communicate effectively
with your fellow residents by posting your newsletters, meeting
minutes, official documents, and forms on your neighborhood website.
Time Savings
The board and committees are all made up of resident volunteers
and everyone has a job and family. Calendar, official documents,
request forms, contact information, and on and on - all these items
can be made available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to owners, real
estate agents, lenders, title companies, prospective buyers or anyone
else that has a need to know. Just think of the time and cost savings
to the association by eliminating the need to duplicate piles of
documents! Instead, when documents are requested, you simply direct
them to the association website and let them copy or print out whatever
they want, when they want it!
Automate day-to-day operations including online membership registration
and renewal, meeting sign-up, and on-line newsletter distribution.
No more long tours around the neighbor to distribute notices and
newsletters on mailboxes.
Board and committee members will receive fewer calls at home from
residents.
Fast, Effective Communication
In homeowner associations, consistent and effective communication
is extremely important to build consensus, distribute information,
and to keep the gossip mill at bay. Timely manual distribution of
meeting minutes, HOA documents, and newsletters are a driving cost
factor. While printed newsletters have been the norm (and local
printers thank you), the web offers a wonderful alternative to publish
newsletters on-line and eliminate printing, mailing, labeling, and
postage costs.
Whether an owner is resident or out of state, communications are
fast. And with an e-mail network, all directors, property managers
and committee members can receive communications simultaneously.

Why Do Some HOA Websites Fail?
Most homeowners association websites that fail are out-of-date
and show little signs of life. They may have started out strong
with high resident interest, but was neglected or forgotten over
time.
Common causes are...
- Inexperience - The enthusiastic neighbor willing to gather
information might not have enough computer experience to create
a website.
- Poor Design & Layout - Previous web designer (resident
or professional) designed a site that wasn’t user-friendly.
- Creator Leaves - The neighborhood webmaster moves or
loses interest with no one left to replace him/her.
- Not Updated - Updating the website is too hard so it
never changes. Therefore, neighbors loose interest and don't bother
to return.
- Not Useful - The website doesn't have enough features
to really make an impact.
