A Small Bill With Remarkable Survival Skills
Some HOA expenses arrive with dignity. Insurance protects the community. Landscaping keeps the entrance from developing the mood of an abandoned railway platform. Reserve contributions are the responsible vegetables of association finance.
Then there is the website bill.
It is rarely enormous. That is part of its talent. It slips into the budget wearing soft shoes: hosting, domain, premium template, mysterious plugin, perhaps a security add-on nobody remembers selecting. Month after month, it collects its modest tribute for the privilege of displaying meeting dates and a PDF of the bylaws.
We thought that was a little silly.
So HOAfy now includes a free HOA website with free hosting, forever for eligible residential community associations. Not "free until your committee has spent a weekend building it." Not "free, except for the part where strangers can visit it." Free to create, publish, host, and keep editing at an included your-community.hoafy.org address.
Take a look at the free community website feature or stay for the pleasant details.
The Website Should Belong to the Association
There is a familiar little tragedy behind many community websites.
A capable neighbor builds one. It looks excellent. She registers the domain, chooses a theme, uploads the pool rules, and becomes the only person who truly knows how any of it works.
Then the board changes. Or she moves. Or the renewal notice goes to an email account last opened during the first season of a television show nobody admits watching anymore.
The website does not dramatically explode. It simply drifts. The old president remains listed. The summer event is two summers old. Eventually the card expires and the entire thing disappears, taking the association's public front door with it.
A community website should not be a personal craft project with a succession crisis. It should belong to the association, with access tied to the people currently authorized to manage it. New board, same address. New secretary, same pages. New management company, no archaeological dig through a former volunteer's inbox.
That durability matters more than clever animation, fashionable typography, or a heroic drone photograph of the clubhouse. Although, to be clear, we enjoy a heroic clubhouse.
What You Can Put on a Free Community Website
A good HOA website is not trying to become the next great media empire. It is trying to answer the questions residents ask at 9:47 p.m. on a Sunday:
- When is the next board meeting?
- Where are the CC&Rs?
- Who do I contact about the gate?
- Is the pool closed?
- How do I reach the homeowner portal?
HOAfy gives the community a clean, mobile-friendly place for those answers. You can publish public pages for association information, announcements, events, documents, and contact details. Add the association's colors, logo, and images. Update the site when the board changes its meeting schedule instead of waiting for someone who still remembers FTP.
Every site receives an included address such as cedar-ridge.hoafy.org. It is short, recognizable, and paired naturally with the association identity inside HOAfy.
The result is not a temporary trial artifact. The website remains online and editable after the trial ends.
Free HOA Website, Paid HOA Management Platform
Here is the line without confetti:
Your community website is free forever. The complete HOAfy management platform is free for 30 days.
When an association signs up, it can explore the full platform for 30 days: accounting, dues and payments, communications, violations, requests, voting, homeowner portals, HOAfy Copilot, and the rest of the rather capable machinery.
If the board decides to subscribe, lovely. The website sits alongside the tools that run the community.
If the board does not subscribe, the paid management tools pause after the trial. The public website stays. It does not sulk, vanish, or replace the homepage with an invoice. The association can continue maintaining it at the included hoafy.org address.
Custom domains and the complete operational platform belong with a paid HOAfy subscription. The free address and core website are meant to remain genuinely useful on their own.
HOAs, Condos, Townhomes, Co-ops: You Are Invited
"HOA website" is convenient shorthand, but the neighborhood has more than one kind of front door.
The free community website offer is available to:
- Homeowners associations
- Condominium associations
- Townhome associations
- Housing cooperatives
- Property owners associations
- Neighborhood and similar residential community associations
- Property and community management companies creating websites for associations they manage
Your organization does not need the letters H, O, and A arranged on its stationery. A free condo association website and a free townhome association website are very much part of the idea.
There is no document packet to submit before getting started. No one waits behind a velvet rope comparing incorporation papers. Create the association, build the site, and publish.
The one boundary is simple: this is community-association hosting, not free hosting for the entire internet. A site must describe an eligible residential community association or a company managing eligible associations. Clearly unrelated sites may be removed under HOAfy's terms. A bakery is wonderful. A bakery is not a condominium association, even if its croissants inspire unusually orderly meetings.
Why Would HOAfy Give the Website Away?
Because the economics and the incentives line up rather nicely.
Public community sites are generated as static pages and served through modern cloud infrastructure. They are fast, secure, and inexpensive to host. Community content changes often enough to matter, but not so often that every page view needs a complex server transaction.
More importantly, the website is often the first piece of association software everyone can agree on. It is visible. It solves an obvious problem. It does not require the treasurer to migrate a decade of accounting history before anybody sees a benefit.
Some boards will start with a website and later decide they would also enjoy not assembling invoices by hand. Some will discover the shared mailbox, online payments, violation workflows, or financial reports during the 30-day trial and stay for the complete platform. Others will keep only the free site.
That is a fair arrangement. The association gets a durable public home. HOAfy gets to demonstrate its taste and usefulness in the open. The tiny monthly website bill is invited to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
A Website That Survives the People Who Made It
Board turnover is not a flaw in community governance. It is the mechanism. Volunteers serve, elections happen, responsibilities move, and institutional memory attempts to squeeze itself through the gap.
The best association systems are built for that motion. They do not assume one heroic person will remain forever. They make the handoff ordinary.
That is what we want the free HOA website to be: an address the community recognizes, pages the current board can update, and a public record that does not vanish because a card expired in somebody else's wallet.
It can also look rather good while doing it.
