### "Small community with big wants and needs"

June 4, 2025

5.0

We upgraded from another service and found HOA Start to be extremely helpful in our transition. They were very responsive to our questions and needs. We are now upgrading and they created tailored videos for our review to assist us in making a decision.

Pros

1). It is intuitive and easy to use 2). We were able to add community specific features to the website 3). Text messaging - we use this for emergency notifications 4). We can update/maintain from any device - phone, tablet, and computer 5). Secure offering

Cons

1). We started with the basic plan which meant that we did not have access to certain features - now after some additional investigation, we plan to upgrade - wish we had some of this from the beginning.

### "Product Not Working as Promised"

January 5, 2024

3.0

If I had known that the turn around to fix certain issues would take so long, I would not have purchased the product. I was promised that we would have a good product and so far, I only have questions and headaches because the product has some critical issues.

Pros

It looks to be a very good product when it is working.

Cons

Some of the critical functions are not working and I find the support needs better support from the client.

HOA Start allows us to have a clean and effective website for our community. They make the website easy to navigate and keep community engagement flowing.

Pros

HOA Start has implemented an easy way for our community to have an engaging website for all members to participate in.

No large concerns from the company. They have been easy to be in contact with and have solved any issues we have had in a quick and effective manner.

### "Great Value for a Co-Op or HOA"

March 28, 2025

5.0

Very good customer service and help getting started.

Pros

Great value and feature set for the price. I also like the simplicity and ease of use of this this software. Once you learn it, it's very easy navigate and use as an admin. Very accessible software for elderly population.

Cons

The cloud drive could be better at searching all folders instead of just one at a time. Or uploading multiple folders at a time. Could use better iOS and android app integration for things like messaging to get notifications. With that said, still a great value.

### "Great HOAStart"

March 3, 2025

5.0

It's been a great experience to date. The staff was extremely helpful throughout the process.

Pros

It looks great, is easy to use and has a lot of functionality needed to manage our HOA. We had a successful election and the use the one time charges has been a game changer.

Cons

Unlike other websites it's formatted for you so you have to work within those parameters.

### "Great Product and Customer Service!"

November 26, 2024

5.0

I am a stickler for good customer service and response time. HOA Start has been excellent in those areas. Especially when they weren't understanding my questions clearly they responded quickly to get me an answer. Overall I would give them 5 out of 5 stars. Their product is excellent and I look forward to future enhancements as our needs grow. We are using the Professional version which provides all the features we currently need for our small HOA.

Pros

From the start the customer service and onboarding team have been very responsive and helpful. Starting with a zoom meeting, and allowing use of a test site prior to committing it was a very quick and easy decision to purchase their product. After purchasing an annual contract we received an onboarding menu that lead me thru the steps to going live. Having experience with setting up websites previously I still appreciated the guidance provided thru the onboarding process and became aware of new features and how to navigate them.

Cons

I can't think of any negative aspects, maybe some improvements could be made in the editing processes in the website editor but nothing I would consider a negative.

### "A definite must have for you HOA community"

May 5, 2025

5.0

Excellent so far. Hoping the upgrades come through as promised. Onboarding is with you every step of the way and continues for the life of the contract.

Pros

The ease of use, document repository and customer support. Website is easy to use and offers many different templates to give your site a built by a professional look.

Cons

Still many features "in the works". Bulk emailing needs serious upgrades to include templates and delay sending options.

### "Great HOA site software that has thought of everything!"

January 15, 2025

5.0

Our experience with HOA Start has been very positive, and they continue to add new features to the software as they get feedback from their users.

Pros

Our community has been using HOA Start for about two years and have been very happy with the software and service. The templates are tailored to HOAs, and building our site was easy - they have thought of everything an HOA needs so you don't need to build it from scratch. The site is visually very nice and professional looking. The support team is very helpful and responds quickly to questions or problems.

Cons

There has been nothing negative about HOA Start. There have been some "wish lists" for additional features, which the support team takes seriously, has worked on, and, in many cases, delivered.

### "HOA Start - Easy to Create & Administer our HOA Website with Outstanding Customer Support"

December 16, 2022

5.0

As our HOA administrator, I was really surprised how easy it was to get our website configured and 'live' so quickly. I was able to use our existing domain name which was a plus too. Feedback from our homeowners has been overwhelmingly positive where they love the modern look/feel, graphics, ease of use, access to our HOA documents, Contact Us page and how great the website looks on their mobile devices. Your product is great and Customer Support (\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]) is amazing as mentioned before.

Pros

The ability to quickly and easily configure our HOA website is where this product shines. Our HOA is on the Starter package, yet this is feature rich with the ability to manage our members, post and expose HOA documents, ACH payments, calendars and the flexibility to create additional webpages as needed. The modern user experience provides our HOA a fresh new look. The fast response from our Onboarding Support Specialist, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], is amazing! He was able to provide some great technical work-arounds for me to create some very nice web pages. I looked closely at the other competition before choosing HOA Start in terms of functionality for the price for our HOA since we are a smaller community. It was a no brainer that HOA Start was the clear Leader in terms of their Web Designs with the features, ease of use and support!

Cons

Because HOA Start is so feature-rich and everything is configurable, there is alot of functionality in this product. I am an IT professional where I needed to reach out to the Support team for clarification on a couple items, like the Households feature for example. Two things that can be improved: 1) making HOA Start mobile enabled (not just viewing website on mobile device), 2) email blast as part of the Starter package.

### "Quick to Implement a HOA Solution, Robust Features, Flexible, Phenomenal Support"

April 29, 2024

5.0

Love working with HOA Start and maintaining content as we go. I consider myself an 'expert' with creating new pages and managing our website making this more fun and spark the interest of our homeowners

Pros

Super intuitive to quickly setup and configure any HOA website. You don’t need a webmaster to manage/maintain your site, your HOA volunteers can manage this. We are in a smaller community of 80 homes, but we wanted advanced features like: Member database, Secured Member Portal, Member Directory, Ability for Online Payments, Events & Calendars, Email Blasts, Document Repository, Robust Admin Functionality, OOTB & Custom Forms and pricing packages that would fit our needs. As our HOA Communications Committee Chair, I spent a lot of time researching other company HOA sites to the find the best overall solution that is intuitive, user friendly, easy to setup and maintain going forward. HOA Start provided a free trial where I had most of our website configured where this was transferred over to Production once we went live. During the trial process and eventually once we signed on to HOA Start, I was super impressed that we had a dedicated onboard/support specialist to assist along the way. This experience alone sold it for me; also, no other HOA software provider has the features/functionalities, ease of use application and phenomenal support that I have found. Support inquiries were immediately addressed where they provided personal ‘how-to’ videos to help facilitate my requests. We’ve received super positive feedback from our homeowners for the look and intuitiveness of our newly branded website. The other great bonus is providing the ability for our homeowners to make online payments (ACH or Credit Card) via the Stripe integration with very small ACH service fees. Just in our new launch alone, 25% of our homeowners made online payments and with all payments received before the HOA fees due date, which is first! The Professional plan has all of the functionality our HOA needs as this plan is feature rich with the many different features available to tailor to our community. Lastly, HOA Start has a great training reference library that contains videos and documents with great detail how to setup/configure both simple and complex configurations.

Cons

The admin reporting features can be more robust by offering the ability to create custom reports via a fields selection configuration. Having said this though, our treasurer and secretary find the report feature to meet their expectations. This isn’t a “Con”, per se, but note it does take time to setup a site (content), even for software that is easy to use and configure as HOA Start. Having your content ready to cut/paste or photo’s to upload will reduce this time significantly. Since we started from scratch, this was the largest effort to create/gather the content and have reviewed with the Board.

Reason for choosing HOA Start

Building a custom website would be too much overhead to maintain. We wanted an easy to use cost-effective solution like HOA Start. The other products, did not have all of the features we wanted like HOA Start offered.

Switched from

[HTML Editor](https://www.capterra.com/p/152212/HTML-Editor/)

Replaced a simple website a previous board member created, but never maintained; this was a simple/boring page as well. Wanted to find a low-cost, cloud-based provider that offered all of the features I mentioned in the Pros section and HOA Start met all of these requirements!

From importing our members, to building our website and sending out our first online invoices everything worked.

Pros

Simple to use and the website builder creates a very professional site. The support team is Great!

May 29, 2025

Every member of the team went over the top to ensure our product was the best it could be. We introduced Stripe for member assessment payments and the team worked with us to get that established as well.

Pros

Whole team was responsive and worked with us to get our site loaded and functional. Jazmin and rest of client service team not only worked with us but also completed activities and offered suggestions to make our community website the best it could be.

Cons

Great value for money as well! Really nothing to note. They continued to work with us after the rollout.

August 9, 2024

5.0

It's a valuable asset for our condo community.f

Pros

Easy setup and customization. Did it in an afternoon. Great place to store Association documents - meeting minutes, contact lists, contractor recommendations, invoices, contracts, etc. It's become a valuable asset to our condo association and it's fairly priced for the value we get.

Cons

1\. We need a way to search the Newsfeed (or the entire site). We have tons of info loaded into our posts at the Newsfeed but it's very cumbersome to go back through the posts to find something from the past. 2. Owners should be able to be notified about new newsfeed posts and comments on posts. They should be able to opt out of those notifications but must users of a site like this would want that. Right now, we manually sent out an email everytime we put up a new post.

### "This software simply works"

January 15, 2023

4.0

My team and I agree that our experience was much better than expected. Each of us on the team has an IT background and therefore experienced with various software product upgrades or replacements. The implementation coordination was excellent. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], our coordinator, was able to quickly identify our needs and help guide us through implementation. Always offering best-paths, she was expert at explaining options and the trade-offs that we'd see. That point alone emphasizes why I learned as much as I did as opposed to simply following recommendations from a manual or a coordinator who might not be engaged. The HOA Start process and procedure work flow provided us with clear steps to success.

Pros

The website management and configuration features are not only equal to all of the more expensive products; but it exceeds them in many cases. As a career software developer, I know pain points for users. Good/great products work hard to ease that burden. Work flows, communications, mass-editing...these things matter. We found a great product.

Cons

As a board member on our POA, I would like to have more reporting for my members, especially statistically. In the future, I'd consider adding canned reports that would satisfy the number crunchers.

Reason for choosing HOA Start

1) Modern, well designed pages to use2) Ease of implementation and ongoing maintenance3) Features for our users4) Cost

### "Easy start up, great support staff, plenty of bells and whistles."

July 18, 2023

5.0

The website we were using the previous ten years, was specifically written for us. It was difficult to navigate, and to administrate, so after the last administrator left, it never go used, but we were still paying for the monthly subscription.Also, your onboarding person, \[sensitive content hidden\] was outstanding! I don't use that term loosely. She was thorough, and very knowledgeable about the product. She was always very prompt in returning support questions. I happened a number of times, where I'd be doing set-up late at night and have a question, and send it to her. By the next morning, she had already answered me, often replying to me at 5-5:30 in the morning, and we're on the same time zone! So if anyone actually reads this review, please give \[sensitive content hidden\] kudos and a job well done for me!

Pros

The ease of getting website up and running, and the knowledgeable and helpful onboarding specialist.

Cons

Wish that financial information was easier to download to our financial software system.

Reason for choosing HOA Start

User friendliness, online support, price point.

### "HOA Website"

June 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

As the new chair of my HOA Communications Committee, it was my job to help bring our 55+ community's website into the 21st Century. After an exhaustive search, I found HOA Start and couldn't be happier. The site is beautiful, intuitive, interactive, budget friendly and so easy to build and navigate. We were assigned our very own Support Rep and \[sensitive content hidden\] has been amazing - so helpful and supportive. Our community is very proud of our new website and we are getting engagement from residents who swore they would never use a website. We can keep members only content private, while still being able to let prospective residents know how great our community is! Communicating with our residents has never been easier. I wish I could give HOA more than 5 stars!

Cons

Some of the add ons are a bit pricey for us but the included functions are superb!

We couldn't be more thankful for honest feedback like this. We value every review we get, because it's in that moment we're able to see how the Customer Journey played out. In this case, seems it was a great ride, and that's what we strive for with every project. We again thank you for taking the time to help us understand what we're doing right, and where we can get better.

### "Modern DIY website for any homeowners association."

January 10, 2023

5.0

Our old website was useless. People are engaged in the HOA Start website. We had an event that we charged outsiders to attend. We used the event capabilities to set up the event online and the credit card capabilities to charge people. Would have been a nightmare without the website to assist here.

Pros

It's easy to use, administer and change. Also, it's newer than most of it's competitors out there. Most others I found were 15-20 years old and they looked it. HOA Start is fairly new (a couple years old) and thus state of the art for the industry. Also, we maintain it ourselves as opposed to relying on the website company. therefore, changes happen in hours and are exactly what we want them to be. We control it.

Cons

It wasn't as feature rich as some of the others initially when we got it, but what it has now is plenty for what we need now.

Reason for choosing HOA Start

The rest were 15-20 year old products. HOA Start was the only one we found out there that was built from the ground up with the newer technologies of today.

### "Real Customer Service"

Amazing - the Sales representatives, the Developers, the Billing department - all are friendly, helpful and super responsive.

Pros

HOA Start had the most incredible customer service. I volunteered to take over the website for my HOA and they helped make it easy. From a domain name transfer to customizing my website to my unique needs - HOA Start has been there for me.

Cons

I would still like to see the Rental Page easier to change and update

It's a great start of the week when you wake up to see a glowing review like this. These are so appreciated, and welcomed. You'll see a repetitive theme looking through the responses from our company over all these reviews... it's about the customer. We know our product delivers and we'll continue to improve upon it, but customer service is a responsibility we take very seriously. Thank you again for taking the time to tell us how we're doing!

### "Long time coming, but glad we’re finally here"

June 28, 2023

5.0

The software itself is pretty amazing, but the customer service with our Onboard Specialist is where this project succeeded. \[sensitive content hidden\] was there with us through the entire setup and helped us launch successfully. Can’t say enough about this company.

Pros

HOA Start has all the extras we weren’t able to find with the other competitors, like Sub-Admin and managing our Board Meetings through the software. They have a feature called Digest that allows our members to stay connected and received weekly or monthly updates on the changes to the website; we didn’t see any of these features anywhere.

Cons

While we can email our invoices through the software, we’d like to have the ability to print them out and physically mail invoices to some of the residents who aren’t online. We’re told that is coming in two months.

Reason for choosing HOA Start

HOA Start has a better user experience, and integrated website builder.
