If you have a website and don't have a management company, who has access to the site to add information such as minutes, Agenda, etc...

John,

You're in a bit of a quandry. Most property management companies provide portals and handle what you are describing as part of the management contract. It's a lot of work for volunteers to keep a website up to date. You might have a volunteer do it for a little while but eventually they lose interest.

We have a management company provided portal that has all of those documents (behind a secure area) but I recently created a public facing webpage that is static. It's something that the public can read about our neighborhood but nothing changes on it, so it's no maintenance.

If you want a webpage with content that changes, I would highly recommend your HOA hire a professional to maintain the website so all you have to do is e-mail the documents to the professional and they update the website and bill you for their time.

Max knows me too well, I'm afraid.

that probably describes 99% of HOA boards. I dont' think updating a website is hard work no more than making an agenda for a meeting.

It's not hard work but something that someone has to do. Finding someone who actually completes a simple task on a regular basis for any length of time is a pain in the rear. Much easier to hire a professional company to do it, and then simply e-mail the documents that need to go up to the professional company for them to put on the website.
