Well designed HOA software can help HOA officers build their own website without special expertise. In some jurisdictions, such as Florida, laws mandate that each HOA have an accessible website with certain information.
Why is a HOA website builder important in an HOA?
The twin goals of any homeowner association are to enhance property values and to enhance residents’ quality of life. A user-friendly website helps with both purposes in several ways:
- Enabling online billing and payments for HOA fees, thus eliminating lost bills, lost checks, and the resulting reminders and frustrations
- Speeding up the process of architectural review and maintenance requests and responses by putting it online
- Enhancing communications between the HOA board/committees and homeowners and between residents–both individuals and groups
- Providing useful information for prospective homeowners
