An HOA website your residents actually use

The simplest way to build an HOA website is to describe your community, its amenities, and the documents residents need to we.inc and let the AI put together the pages, or start from a free template if a board volunteer just needs something functional fast. Free plan sites are template-only with no AI; AI-built sites start at $20 a month on the Starter plan.

Dark Motion Logistics Company website template for hoa websites
Dark Motion Logistics Company: a We.Inc template that suits hoa websites.

An HOA website for community documents, announcements, and board contacts in one place instead of a group text or paper flyer.

Pages every HOA website needs

  • Documents & Forms: Bylaws, CC&Rs, meeting minutes, and architectural request forms are the single most requested thing on an HOA site, so make this page easy to find from the homepage.
  • Announcements / News: A running feed of community updates cuts down on repeated phone calls and emails to the board about the same question.
  • Board & Contact: List board members, their roles, and how to reach them or the property manager, since residents need to know who to ask.
  • Meeting Calendar: Board meeting dates, agendas, and community events belong in one place residents can check without digging through email threads.
  • Rules & Guidelines: Clear, plainly written community rules reduce disputes and give the board a page to point to when questions come up.
  • Amenities: For communities with a pool, clubhouse, or gym, a page covering hours and reservation info answers the most common resident question.

Do HOAs need dedicated HOA software or just a website?

It depends on what the board wants the site to do. If you need dues payments, violation tracking and owner logins, dedicated HOA software or your management company's portal is the better fit; if you need a public place for documents, meeting dates and contacts, a simple website is enough.

What makes a HOA website work

Documents need to be organized, not just uploaded

HOA sites tend to accumulate years of PDFs. Group them clearly (bylaws and CC&Rs, meeting minutes by year, forms) rather than one long unsorted list, since residents searching for a specific document give up fast if it's buried.

State disclosure rules sometimes apply

Some states require HOAs to make certain governing documents and financial disclosures available to homeowners on request, and a few require reasonable public access. Check your state's HOA statute for what your association is required to post or provide, since requirements vary widely.

Keep an announcements page even if you also use email

Not every resident reads HOA emails, and a public announcements page gives new owners, renters, and prospective buyers a way to catch up on recent community news.

A separate login system is out of scope

we.inc does not provide resident login accounts or a private members-only area natively. If your HOA needs owner-only access to sensitive financial documents, that typically stays in a dedicated HOA management platform, and the public we.inc site can link out to it or to a secure document request process.

What it costs

A domain runs about $10 to $20 a year and is usually paid from HOA dues alongside hosting. Many HOA sites are simple enough that the free template plan covers it (documents, announcements, contact info); consider the $20 a month Starter plan only if the board wants the AI to draft and update copy regularly.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an HOA website cost?

A we.inc template site is free (up to three sites, no AI, published on a we.inc address), which covers most HOA needs like documents and announcements. If the board wants the AI to write and update the site's copy, that starts at $20 a month on the Starter plan. A domain adds roughly $10 to $20 a year.

What pages does an HOA website need?

At minimum: a documents page for bylaws and minutes, an announcements section, board contact information, and a meeting calendar. Communities with shared amenities usually add a page covering hours and reservations.

Can residents log in to a private area of the site?

we.inc does not include built-in resident login accounts. If your HOA needs a private area for sensitive documents, most associations keep that in a dedicated HOA management platform and link to it from the public site, or handle document requests directly with the board.

Are we legally required to have an HOA website?

Requirements vary by state; some states require certain governing documents or financial disclosures to be reasonably accessible to homeowners. Check your state's HOA statute, since a website is one common way associations meet that requirement but it isn't universally mandated.

Can we use our own domain name for the HOA site?

Yes, we.inc paid plans (from $20/mo) include custom domains, SSL, and hosting, so the association can use its own domain (for example, the community name) instead of a we.inc subdomain.

Is there a free HOA website template?

Yes. The free plan publishes up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, with no AI and no custom domain. A volunteer board can fill in the documents, dates and contacts itself.

Can residents send architectural requests through the site?

Yes. The AI can build an architectural review request form that emails each submission to the board. List the details and drawings you need on the form so requests arrive complete.

HOA website template ideas: three sample designs, compared for residents and boards

An HOA website is where residents pay dues, find documents and ask the board a question. Below, three sample designs from our library, read for what a resident and a board member need.

How these were picked

The homeowners association sample, a property management sample and a showcase build for an HOA management company. All businesses, fees and reviews are made up. Checked 27 September 2026. Every design here is from the We.Inc library and is labelled as a sample or template. None is a customer site, and no entry claims results.

1. Willow Creek Homeowners Association

Sample site built by our AI (made-up business). Open it

Task: A self-governed association with a clubhouse and pool.

Design choice: "Pay Dues" and "Submit ARC Request" up top, the annual assessment, clubhouse, resale certificate and appeal hearing listed with fees, and open board meetings explained.

Limitation: Online dues payment needs your payment or management platform linked.

2. Bluestem Property Management

Sample site built by our AI (made-up business). Open it

Task: A manager serving rental owners, useful for a managed community.

Design choice: "Get a rent analysis" and "Owner login", with flat fees and what each service includes.

Limitation: Written for landlords, not homeowners in an association.

3. Chicago HOA Services

Showcase build from a one-line prompt (made-up business). Open it

Task: A company that manages associations for volunteer boards.

Design choice: "More time for your board" with "Get started today" and "Work with us" over a full-width photo.

Limitation: A sales site for boards; residents need their own documents and dues pages.

Is there an HOA website template?

Yes. You can start from a template on the free plan and publish up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, or describe your association on a paid plan and the AI builds it. The designs above are samples, not real associations.

What should HOA website design include?

Dues and how to pay, governing documents and minutes, board contacts and meeting dates, amenity rules, and request forms. The Willow Creek sample puts dues and the architectural request in the first screen.
