Improve the look of your homepage with these simple tips...

The "Welcome Box" on your homepage can be the most important part of your website. It’s often said that the first section of a homepage is like a storefront window – if it’s appealing and intriguing, visitors are more likely to peek inside.

Try these things to spiff up your homepage:
  • Add a photo of a neighborhood event to the welcome box.
  • Create a useful message in the “Extra Extra” field above the welcome box.
  • If you live in an HOA, have the President write a welcome message.
  • Write about your communities’ history and goals and invite participation.
  • Add a photo, poem, or story created by a member of your community.
