InstaPage

Community websites for homeowners associations

InstaPage builds website templates for homeowners associations and residential communities. Over two decades, the company says, its sites have reached thousands of neighborhoods in the United States and overseas. The product is aimed at boards and managers who want a community site that looks professional, is easy to run and can be reached from any device.

Template choice and customization

The current version, InstaPage 5.0, offers a range of responsive templates that can be customized with a community's own images and color scheme. A web site creation wizard walks a user through setup, and the company says the whole job can be done in a few minutes. The templates are described as tested and warranted on current browsers and platforms.

Phones, tablets and resident access

Pages are designed to work across current tablets and smartphones, so residents can reach community documents and services at any time. The company says the sites make communication with residents more convenient, because the association can reach people wherever they are and through the device they already carry.

Messages to residents by email and text

Email and SMS text blasts are included, so a board can send notices to residents' phones as well as to their inboxes. The company says the sites integrate with VMS property management software, with Paylease online payments and with social media, so dues and news can be handled through the same site.

Partner program for resellers

The company runs a partner program for people who want to offer the product to communities. Partners receive technical and marketing support, and the company presents this as a way to build a business around the templates. The partner route is separate from the direct sale to a single association.
