Websites for Condominiums, Co-ops and Homeowner Associations
Being a member of a Board of Trustees or Directors or serving on a Coop Board,
you have a responsibility to your membership to help improve
the value of units in your community as well as to minimize costs.
Having a website for your community will help accomplish both of these
goals.
A website for your community is more than just a "nice to have".
It has to have a purpose. Communipages believes your community's website should be targeted
at 2 groups:
Owners*
- The site should be a "one stop shop" for all the needs of unit
owners, residents and members
- Forms
- Owners and residents can get the forms 24-7
- Owners do not need to come to the office during work hours
or have access to a fax machine

for Board members and management

private or business email address
