POA Website

Property Owners Association Websites can be powerful tools on the road to your POA becoming a more efficient and highly communicative community. The national statistics speak for themselves, property owners associations, HOAS, and other planned communities account for over 60% of all association governed communities in the U.S. POA web sites can be critical building blocks in the challenge of communicating in an effective and efficient manner.

A large number of individuals are making the transition from renting commercial properties to home ownership. With these increases; there are a number of new responsibilities and issues such as maintenance, property taxes, land upkeep, and architectural concerns that a POA web site can facilitate and simplify. Property Owners Associations and Condo Associations that have a POA website have enjoyed a distinct advantage in managing the numerous tasks associated with the successful operation of a community. POA Websites are designed to facilitate the specific needs of your Property Owners Association.

According to information researched by the non-profit Community Associations Institute, over 2.5 million Americans serve on a community, HOA, or Property Owners association board. Of that 2.5 million, more than one fourth serve as members of one or more committees. POA websites are the most cost effective way to share, educate, inform, and communicate a limitless amount of information with the residents of your community.
Association experts and industry insiders have agreed that POA websites are virtually a necessity to any Property Owners Association that values their money, resources, and time, particularly when many POAs are bolstered by the time and effort of volunteers and board/committee members.

The world of costly paper mailings, random sign postings, endless phone calls, over stuffed file cabinets, and stretched to capacity resources and budgets can be a thing of the past. The key is to find the right provider that has the experience and expertise to design the kind of website that your Property owners are going to benefit from.

Let's face it; there are a lot of Property Owners Association Web Site providers out there who are more than willing to collect monthly fees for POA websites that add very little value to the overall communications of your community. Numerous vendors selling POA websites have been known to offer anything from a virtually benign two page template, to a complex menagerie of directionless pages, leaving residents and general online visitors anxious to leave the site immediately.

A great deal of this confusion is attributable to the fact that the online website marketplace is filled with companies who design various website services and plans that are not exclusive to the Property Owners Association Website industry. In other words, larger technology companies that offer small subdivisions dedicated to a particular niche' market, are suddenly releasing products that they know little about. By launching small subsets of their businesses focused on penetrating deeper into what they consider to be side markets, consumers are left with the dilemma of trying to differentiate between legitimately sound and experienced companies, and money gathering pet projects.

Without a clear understanding of the POA website industry as well as the basic needs of the residents and board members associated with it; these companies unintentionally insure that the consumer gets the short end of the stick. Too many times a Property Owners Association ends up with their hands tied and their resources invested into a mediocre service where they are over charged for a host of functionality they did not request, do not need, and cannot use.

Board members, residents, and community volunteers who live in real neighborhoods understand what functionality and features a POA website has to have to be an effective communications tool. In many states, Property Owners Association websites are a necessity for legal compliance with the public posting requirements for meeting minutes, by-laws, and other information essential to resident safety. Each year in a growing number of states, new legislation is passed regarding what information Property Owner Associations HAVE to make public and accessible to their residents 24 hours a day.

AtHomeNet is the nation’s leading provider of Property Owners Association Websites, providing the most comprehensive yet affordable solution to facilitate compliance with these evolving laws. The greater observation is that beyond the obvious legal requirements; a POA website offers your residents the chance to share an unprecedented level of communications to the point where you won't be able to imagine what life was like before you launched your POA website.
