Getting Acceptance

Getting new ideas accepted by condo boards or committees can sometimes be difficult.

Here are some challenges you may see and how to counter them

We never had one before why do we need one now?

People (your residents included) are coming to expect instant information
With a web site you can get information out instantly - notices, meeting minutes etc.
Instantly find out time/date/location of upcoming events and meetings
Instantly check availability of resources like games rooms or guest suites
Impress prospective buyers or renters

It would cost to much

Our CMS based websites price is very competitive, much less than to have a website custom built.
Look into 3rd party sponsorship - We can approach a local realtor to sponsor it for you. The realtor would get their name on the site and a page to promote themselves.
Get the management company to buy it. We offer management companies quantity discounts if they buys sites for several complexes.

My son is in college and he could do us a site for free

Typically the son is keen, builds a site then moves on and never wants to see it again.
The son is not going to be available for support in the long term so you end up with a site no one knows how to maintain.

Who will put in the content?

In a large group there is always someone keen, just ask for volunteers. CMSs are very popular these days, you will probably find a resident or two who want to learn about them.
With a cms you can delegate - you can assign levels of privilege to different residents - authors, publishers, etc.
We will put in initial content in for you for a small extra charge. Once the initial content is in, it is very simple to maintain it.
