Websites for homeowners associations
Answer the same resident questions once, on one site
Residents ask the board the same things every month: the pool hours, the fence rules, when the next meeting is. Your website puts the notices, the public documents and the forms in one place, and sends each request to the person who handles it, so volunteers spend less time in their inbox.
$0 upfront build. Hosting and care from $50 a month.
The example
What it looks like for a homeowners association
A resident checks the notices, opens the fence guidelines, sends an architectural request, and it reaches the committee that reviews it, not the whole board.
What the site does
Three jobs it handles for you
Put the answers where residents look
Notices, meeting dates, pool hours and dues information on one site, so residents stop asking the board by text.
Keep public and private documents apart
Covenants, guidelines and minutes the public may see go on the site. Anything only for owners stays off it until a residents only area is added.
Send requests to the right volunteer
Architectural requests, maintenance issues and questions for the board each go to the person who handles them, with the details they need.

Proof
See real work, then yours
The example above is a concept demo with sample content, not a client. Every site we build is designed and coded for that business. You can look through websites we have built, and before you decide anything you review a demo made for yours.

Questions
What homeowners associations ask us
Can some documents be for residents only?
Public documents go on the site. A residents only area with a login is a custom feature we quote separately, and until then private documents stay off the site.
Can requests go to different people?
Yes. Architectural requests, maintenance issues and questions for the board can each go to the person or committee that handles them.
Our board changes every year. What happens then?
The association is our client, not one volunteer, so the site and its care carry on when the board changes. The new board sends changes the same way the old one did.
Will residents actually use it?
We do not promise visits. When every notice and email points to the site, it becomes the place people check first, and that is what takes the questions off the board.
What does it cost?
The build is $0 upfront. Hosting and care is monthly: Essentials $50, Advantage $85 and Priority $125 a month. They differ by how many changes we make for you each quarter, how fast we make them, and how many blog posts you get. Features like booking or an online store add to the plan's price. Your exact monthly price is confirmed before you decide, and it is never based on how complex your site is.
When does billing start?
Hosting billing starts the day your website goes live. If we are still waiting on something from you 60 days after you sign, such as your domain access, your content or your approval, billing starts then instead. If we are the ones holding things up, it waits until the site is live.
Can I cancel?
Within 3 days of signing, either of us can end it and you owe nothing. After that and before launch, there is a cancellation fee of two months of your hosting price, less anything already paid. Once the site is live, you can leave any time with 60 days notice from your client portal.
Who owns the website?
Your brand, your domain and the content you give us are always yours. The website and its code belong to Sweet Dreams while we host it, and you can buy them at any time. The buyout price goes down the longer you host with us.
Who makes changes after launch?
We do. Your plan includes update hours every quarter, 3, 9 or 16 depending on the plan, and you send changes from your client portal. Work beyond your hours is quoted first, and you approve it before it starts.
Are photos or video included?
No. We build with the photos and video you already have. If you want a professional shoot, we quote it separately.
