What if my community or neighborhood does not have an association of any kind?
You can register for a FREE CommunityRadar.com account to share and review news and events pertinent to your interest and locale. An individual account plugs you into the entire PortalHood™ information network so you can benefit from the information gathering efforts of the greater community!
How is PortalHood™ different from the typical Homeowner Association or other local group website?
PortalHood™ provides many of the features you'd expect from a community web site but with a special benefit: your PortalHood™ site links you to other community sites in your area. This newtork of communities provides your members
with better quality and more timely news. Many websites become static and stale because updates, which are usually the responsibility of one person, take too much time. Or the person moves and no one takes over the job. Such a website has no purpose.
- PortalHood™ is user-friendly. Updates are quick and easy, requiring no high-tech skills.
- In addition to the ease of posting fresh articles, bulletins and newsletters, PortalHood™ provides the capacity to download forms, make reservations for use of amenities, update the membership directory, and to access and publish syndicated news.
- PortalHood™ further engages readers with Web searches, online games, movie listings, etc. like a local community newspaper—only better!
- Achieving active, ongoing use of members, your PortalHood™ website becomes an ideal medium for paid advertising, creating a constant fundraiser for your neighborhood or group.
