An eXcelisys eXpertise: HOA Websites

Just as you’d hire a professional contractor to pour your home’s foundation, you should hire a professional web developer to build your HOA website to ensure you get a concrete footing that will hold for years to come.

As with a home, website architecture matters. Sure, you can hire a web designer to craft a sleek and stylish-looking site, or you can download a DIY HOA web template. However — as with any home purchase — it’s the bones that matter.

At eXcelisys, we build good bones!

Consider — Down the road, you may want to integrate your HOA software management system with your website or add a payments portal. If you build a website with a solid foundation (aka “good bones”), that task becomes easier. You don’t want to have to rebuild to build on as your website needs morph and change.

eXcelisys Project Manager and Production VP Kurt Knippel notes that it’s important to hire a qualified web developer to build your homeowners association or condo association website so you get a site that’s responsive and mobile-friendly, optimized for page speed, and set up with proper SSL encryption to protect sensitive data and documents stored on the site. You also want to make sure your developer sets up automated backups so your site data is not lost.

“eXcelisys has eXperience working with and developing websites for a whole range of industries, including many in the property sphere,” said Knippel. “Our eXperience is not limited to making something that looks nice. We know how to integrate with a variety of eXternal services, provide for the necessary security, and help websites be compliant with applicable legal requirements.”

Get the Most Out of Your HOA Website

Whatever your needs, we can build it. Whether you need a simple, static website to disseminate information to your community, or a feature-rich site complete with an online dues-paying system or an amenity-reservation calendar, we’ve got you covered.

Depending on the size of your organization – and the state you are located in – your website needs will vary. Some states – like Florida – require specific information be housed on a public-facing website, while other official records must be made available to HOA members through a secure portal. You’ll want to confirm that the information on your website complies with your HOA’s governing documents and state laws.

At eXcelisys, we specialize in creating responsive, user-friendly websites to meet the specific needs of HOA and condo association websites. Our eXperience developing secure, compliant websites ensures your association will be prepared for the future, whether that’s complying with new legal requirements or enhancing communications with residents.

Leverage Your HOA Website

Websites make eXcellent HOA communication tools, keeping property owners, residents and management informed about what’s going on in the community. In addition, they can help your volunteer board stay organized by providing a dedicated space for document storage and access. Having all meeting minutes, contracts and governing documents stored in one place will take the stress off your board so they don’t have to manage documents or hunt down the previous president to figure out what the board voted on at that meeting three years ago.
