Custom Features:
Need something we haven't listed? We'll add it for you, FREE!
(Information Pages, Electronic Forms, Lists, Directories, etc.) |
We make it easy and create additional features for you! Just ask!
If you don't see what you need below, then we will create a custom page for you, free of charge*. Other companies either don't have custom pages, or make you build your own.
*The page must use an existing feature to hold the new information (e.g. text page, document library, discussion forum, announcement, data table, feedback form, etc). In some cases, we also create totally new features for free, if other members could also use them. |
| Board-Only Tools |
Give your Board and volunteers the tools they deserve. |
| Private Discussion Forum |
Discuss topics and make decisions between board meetings!
Online discussion forum where board members may post topics and other board members may reply. Email notification is sent, so board members don't need to check the web site. |
| Private Document Library |
Upload and share documents like draft minutes, job bids, planning documents, work in progress, etc. |
| Web Site Editor Features |
Our motto is to "Keep it Simple!" |
Community123.com's 'Direct Edit' Technology.
Watch Direct Edit in our demo video here.
(High-speed Internet recommended) |
Edits are Easy! Log on as the Editor. Go to the page you want to change and click Edit.
Other companies make you use complicated Administrative Control panels to update your site. With Community123.com, we keep it simple! |
| Step-by-Step Help |
If you ever need a little help, our online training shows you step-by-step how to edit your site. |
| Security |
|
| Multiple Security Levels |
Pages may be Public, Members-Only, or Board-Only. |
| Automated Member Registration |
You don't need to manually approve new members, yet your site stays secure!
The Board gives out a single Community Pass Code to all homeowners, who then use the code to register themselves on the web site. |
| Member Login/Logout with 'Remember Me' |
Members need only log on one time, and the site can automatically log them on next time they visit. This encourages repeat visits, since no password needs to be remembered. |
| Email address 'stealthing' on public pages |
Email addresses should not normally be posted on public web pages, because spammers (junk emailers) harvest the addresses to add to junk mail lists.
We allow you to safely post email addresses on public pages with our 'stealthing' technology. Spammer harvest programs can't see the email address, but your real visitors can.
* Note: Stealthing is not automatic for all emails in the site. It must be specially setup for specific pages you want it on. Just request it and we'll set it up for free. |
| Members-Only Features |
(You may decide to make any of these Public, if you like) |
| Board Member & Committee Contacts |
You decide what to publish: Name, phone number, email address, etc. |
| Announcements |
Emailed to all members and members may opt not to receive them, if they like. Announcements also show on the home page, in summary form. |
| Community Discussions |
Online Discussions are the key to member involvement!
Members may post new topics and reply to existing ones. Emails are sent to members to notify them of new discussions (members may turn this off). Discussion categories may be created to segment discussions, any way you like. For example: General, Golf Talk, Social Clubs, etc. |
| Calendar of Events |
Events are shown in an easy-to-read list format, so you don't have click through 12 calendar pages to see the whole year. Events may be planned as far in advance as you like. They may be set to 'expire' after a certain date, so they automatically disappear from the site. |
| Frequently Asked Questions |
Place common questions and answers here. Click on the question and the answer pops up, so more questions may be listed on a page. |
| Document Library |
Upload association documents for members to view or download. |
| Newsletter Archive |
A special document library just for past newsletters. |
| Members-Only Photo Gallery |
A place for photos of community events and people, that you may not want on the Public Internet. Categorize hundreds of photos in multiple albums.
Special Feature: Our photo album will automatically resize your large camera photos to Web size, when you upload them.
(Most other companies make you resize them manually, before upload.) |
| Public Features |
(You may decide to make any of these Private, if you like) |
| Neighborhood Information Page |
General neighborhood information. |
| Amenities |
Show off your community with photos and descriptions of your amenities. |
| Public Photo Gallery |
Upscale public image: Show your community's best features to the world with photos in multiple photo albums. (Same features as the Members-Only photo gallery) |
