Our Services
We believe that community websites should maximize impact without unnecessary bells and whistles. This means sites should be easy-to-use, well-maintained, and streamlined. We’ve found that focusing on keeping a site informative, useful, and up-to-date provides far more value for the cost of a site than more complicated, expensive sites with advanced features.
Thus, we've focused on the the most essential elements that communities need and want: up-to-date community information, document download, archiving, and contact information. Because we've kept our designs simple and content-rich, your site can make the most of your online presence without breaking the bank. And by providing a regularly scheduled site update, we ensure your site can build consistency and relevance so that it becomes a true resource for community members.
Site Package
Our package includes website creation and setup, domain registration and hosting, as well as monthly content updates and regular maintenance, wrapped into a single package to make the service as simple and problem-free for the community as possible.
Our package site consists of these primary pages:
- News -- Lists current information regarding association activities and upcoming events, as well as contact information for your community manager and management company. This page is updated monthly.
- Documents -- Posts the association's recorded documents as convenient Portable Document Format (.PDF) files to make them easily accessible to the community. Homeowners can open, save, and print the CC&R's, Bylaws, and other recorded documents at no additional cost. This page also hosts the annual community budget, links to forms (ARC, ACH, clubhouse reservation, etc.), and any other community documents (e.g. Community Rules & Regulations) the Board wishes to make available.
- About Us -- Describes the association, its purpose, and its goals, as well as introducing the board and listing the committees members can join. A list of useful links to various community resources (e.g. utilities, city offices, etc.) specific to your community's region is also provided on this page.
- Contact Us -- Establishes communication links with the Board, routed through the community manager, using a simple online form.
- FAQ -- (“Frequently Asked Questions”) Includes answers to common homeowners’ questions about the community and helps reduce consumption of the manager’s and board’s time. It can be expanded as necessary.
- Archives -- Provides "storage" of previous newsletters, meeting minutes, and other such documents for easy availability and download, creating a reference tool of past community business for homeowners and board members alike.
Monthly Updates
Once your site has gone live, maintenance becomes of primary importance. Consistency is key, which is why we have a regular update schedule. We work with your designated website contact to gather each month's content in a timely manner, including news items and community reminders for the main page, newsletters and meeting minutes, new documents, board member changes, and FAQ updates. All content is then posted to the website on or about the first of the month so that visitors can count on consistent updates and know when to expect new information to be available.
When the update and site maintenance is finished, we will send a notification to the designated website contact with a copy of the previous month's site statistics and a brief overview of the statistics with recommendations about how to maintain or increase traffic.
