A real community website — already built, already yours.
Most community boards either don't have a website at all, or they're paying $2,000 a year to keep a half-broken WordPress site limping along. SoShiny includes a modern, mobile-first website with your community's data already in it — on every plan, from day one.
The website your community should have had ten years ago — built for you, live the moment you sign up, and never out of date because it pulls from the same data your board already maintains inside SoShiny.
What’s on it
Fifteen sections toggle on or off from your dashboard — show what’s public, keep the rest members-only:
Three ways it pays off
Money. A typical community website runs $1,500–$3,000 a year to design, plus ongoing hosting and maintenance. SoShiny includes it on every plan. That alone covers most of what you’re paying for the portal.
Time. The single biggest source of board email — “where do I find the rules?”, “when’s the next meeting?”, “is the pool open?” — drops sharply once members and prospective buyers can self-serve. Most boards see inbound questions cut roughly in half within the first month.
Property values. The first thing a prospective buyer does with your community’s name is Google it. What they find on page one shapes the offer. A current, professional site beats a half-maintained WordPress page or a Facebook group every time — and a community that looks well-run signals well-run.
How real communities use it
Condos: Replace an aging WordPress site with a live community page prospective buyers can use to qualify themselves before reaching out — hero photo, amenities, available units, and the actual association documents, all current, all on one page.
HOAs: Publish architectural standards, FAQ, and a contact form so the board stops fielding the same five questions every week — and prospective buyers see a community that’s organized and well-run.
Marinas: Show slip availability, fuel-dock hours, and dockage rules publicly — letting prospective members self-qualify before reaching out, and giving existing members a place to point friends with boats.
Campgrounds and 55+ communities: Publish the seasonal calendar, site rules, and event galleries — helping new owners find their way around and giving snowbirds a place to check schedules from out of state.
