It’s true… the HOA industry has a problem — a bad, ugly, terrible, problem! — It’s not HOA boards run amok, or homeowner apathy. Nope… We have a community association website problem. It's so bad we are having our fist ever Ugly Community Association Website Contest to shed some light on this problem. Read More...

Homeowners nowadays expect to find the information they want, when they want it without too much effort.

The average community website has one unfortunate problem. They're no good. It sounds blunt; maybe downright mean. But the vast majority of community websites aren't doing the job they're meant to do. What job, you ask? The job of marketing your community to future residents.
