HOA websites for disemminating info & announcements

Hi AdamH1 - Even if everyone is on the community website you may still have to post certain matters the old fashioned way. My state statute has open meeting requirements for posting in a prominent place and mailing to newspapers of meetings that overrule the governing documents. However, the process of manually posting can be centralized say to a cork board, or one of those lock and key glass cases.

Reminders can be mailed rather than posted, or just send out the most up to date covenants restrictions and regulations annually and consider that notice and skip that part of unsightly papers.

As for generating excitement, a letter to owners advising of the endeavor and requesting their signature of interest would be a good thing to have on record.

Yes, the electronic method of communication is important, just recognize the old school method may still be required. I would caution the website as a method of owner discussion. Couple reasons, the most important of which is that the ability may reduce attendance at meetings, rather than increase it, even though attendance may be low already. Second, it only takes one bad egg to rant and rave with complaints without constructive help to spoil it for everyone.

AdamH1 - As long as the website has an owner login and there's a control on the info that can be posted by an owner, I see it as a definite pro.
