8 Best Website Builders for HOAs of 2026

HOA Express is built as an HOA website builder first, which is why it suits boards whose main goal is a public site with a private resident area. The free plan already covers unlimited pages and storage, page restrictions, document uploads, calendar events, board and committee info and news articles for up to 50 households, although it shows ads and limits documents. Inform at $15 a month billed yearly adds a free custom domain, resident and pet directories, visitor tracking, photo galleries and removes ads. Engage at $21 a month billed yearly is the plan most HOAs will want: it adds blast emails and texts with 50 monthly text credits, 15 professional email accounts, multiple website admins, online payment collection, custom forms and surveys. Those prices are for up to 25 households and rise with community size. HOA Express lists no setup fees, a 30-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The trade-off is accounting: HOA Express collects payments but does not run the association's books.

PayHOA is HOA management software that includes a website builder, so the public site, the owner portal and the association's books live in one account. The website builder gives every community a .site.payhoa.com address and lets you connect your own domain, with pages built from blocks such as board members, FAQ, documents lists, amenities and maps. Public documents like rules, CC&Rs and minutes can be posted for residents and buyers, and buttons send residents to the portal to pay, file requests or see violations. On the back end, PayHOA lists recurring and one-time invoices, bank sync and reconciliation, a custom chart of accounts and 40+ reports. Pricing is by community size, starting at $49 a month billed yearly for 1 to 25 units, with unlimited homeowners, admins, texts, emails and calls. Watch the extras: online payments carry fees of $2.45 per ACH payment or 3.5% + $0.50 per card payment, and Gable AI is on by default at $24.50 a month after three free months.

TownSq is a community management platform rather than a pure website builder, but every plan includes a community website builder with a custom domain, and residents get a web and mobile app on top. The Pro plan at $90 a month for communities of up to 300 units covers announcements, requests, forum, messages, an address book, amenity reservations, tasks, an events calendar, document storage, polls and surveys, and homeowner payment processing through ABX and ZPTO. TownSq also lists a dedicated client success rep and a dedicated homeowner support organization. Advanced at $145 a month adds audit logs, architectural requests and reviews, violations tracking, guest access control and package control. Prices are paid monthly in USD, with 10% off on annual billing, and step up to $180 for Pro once a community passes 300 units. For a 40-home HOA, $90 a month is a lot compared with HOA Express or PayHOA, but larger associations get a mobile app and a support team for homeowners.

Wix is a general website builder, so an HOA gets more design freedom than any HOA platform here but has to assemble the resident features itself. The free plan includes hosting, the drag-and-drop editor and 1000's of templates, which is enough for a simple public page with board contacts and meeting dates. Light at $17 a month adds a free domain for one year, 2 GB of storage and 2 site collaborators. To collect dues or fees online, Wix lists Accept payments starting on Core at $29 a month, which also raises storage to 50 GB and allows 5 site collaborators. All paid plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee and 24/7 customer care. What Wix does not list on its plans page are HOA tools such as a household directory, violation tracking, architectural requests or a dues ledger, so boards that want those should use an HOA platform and treat Wix as the public front door.

WordPress.com is the cheapest way in this list to put an HOA on its own domain. The Personal plan costs US$4 a month billed yearly, or US$9 paid monthly, and includes a free domain for one year and 6 GB of storage, enough for a news page, board contacts and a set of PDF documents. Premium at US$8 a month billed yearly is the first plan that WordPress.com says can accept payments, through payment buttons that collect payments and donations with PayPal and Stripe, and it raises storage to 13 GB. Higher plans let you install any of over 60,000 plugins, which is how a WordPress site can add member-only pages or a document library. Prices on the page exclude taxes. The limits are the same as any general builder: WordPress.com does not list HOA tools like household directories, violations or a dues ledger, so someone on the board has to manage who sees what and reconcile payments by hand.

Squarespace is a general website builder known for its templates, and for an HOA its main appeal is a good-looking public site with optional member areas. Its pricing page lists no caps on bandwidth or storage, so scanned minutes, financial statements and photo galleries will not run into a limit. Every plan can accept payments, with a 2% online store transaction fee on Basic that disappears on higher plans, and Digital Content and Memberships can gate pages for residents, at a 7% transaction fee on Basic. Basic allows up to 2 contributors, while higher plans allow unlimited contributors, which matters if several board members edit the site. There is no free plan, but every site starts with a 14-day free trial without a credit card, and annual plans include a free domain for one year. As with Wix and WordPress.com, there is no HOA-specific dues ledger, directory or violations tool. Our machine was shown prices in a non-USD currency, so the USD price check is pending.

Pilera is association communication software for single communities and management companies, and its Easysites add-on builds the community website on top of the portal. Easysites pages can be private or public, include photo galleries and drag-and-drop content, and pull in Pilera's documents, payments, surveys and events modules, so residents see the same data on the site and in the portal. For a single community, Basic costs $150 a month paid annually for up to 100 doors and includes 2 managers, email, phone, text and postal mailing, 1GB of document storage and a basic portal with directory, calendar and online payment support. A $150 setup fee applies to every plan, and the website itself is priced separately. Pilera also offers Ballot Bliss for online voting and RFP Plus for vendor bids. For a large association with a manager this is a capable package, but a small self-managed HOA will pay several times what HOA Express or PayHOA charge for a site with documents and payments.

Buildium is association and property management software aimed at management companies, so it fits HOAs that are run by a manager rather than a volunteer board. Homeowners and board members use Resident Center for communications and documents and pay dues through ePay online payments, and Buildium lists architectural requests, violations, payables approvals and ARC/ACC voting for associations. The platform includes unlimited users, customizable roles and permissions and unlimited file storage. Buildium also offers a free property management website hosted by Buildium, which is a site for the management company rather than a separate community website for each HOA. Pricing starts with Essential at $65 a month, and Buildium offers a 14-day free trial with sample data and no credit card. For a single self-managed HOA that mainly wants a resident website, Buildium is more than needed and less website-focused than HOA Express or PayHOA, but a manager running several associations gets portals, payments and accounting in one place.
