Templates - It is concerning that there have an overwhelming request for additional templates to be added for years without any updates? It would be great to have additional background templates to reflect holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year etc. What's the chance of getting this added to the website?
Meredith Owens
Cenna Byers: Our product team is still looking at developing additional template options! Over the last several years, our team's priority has been developing our next gen front ends, which is an enormous project for our team, as it’s a total rewrite of the existing front ends using new cutting-edge technology and design. We’ve prioritized this because improving the front ends considerably allows us to release new features faster.
We're currently working on the last major piece of this project, which is developing the new front ends for our community websites. That will need to be completed before we can release additional template options.

Just to emphasize the comments below, it would indeed be nice to have more options on the background to reflect seasons and Holidays. We want our website to be informative but fun too. Thanks!

Any update as to when we will see more modern website templates? The backend admin interface is modern but the community facing pages look dated and don't work that well on mobile.
Meredith Owens
Danny Fayne: We don't have a timeframe set for this yet, but it's still on our radar! Our product team's current priority is finishing the new front ends for the community websites. Those will need to be completed before we would be able to develop additional template options.
In the meantime, your vote has been added to this post, so you'll be notified via email whenever we update the status of this feature request!

HOAExpress is very user friendly; however, the available website color and style options are very limited and dated. Please update to include more color, layout and style options.

Maybe a few sets to choose from ... *Seasonal (beach, canoe, snow/snow persons, foliage, spring flowers, etc)
*Holidays
*Colors / patterns

I didn't say I wasn't happy with the current options, but there should be more options. The current ones are bland and boring in my opinion. They need some updating.
Some options to maybe add a photo, some options for the seasons, the holidays, something with brighter and more vivid colors, designs, some options based on local characteristics. We are in New England, so many options.
Meredith Owens
Robert McNemar: We appreciate you taking the time to share these suggestions with our team! I can certainly see how those would allow you to personalize the website further. We'll take all of this into consideration when we look at which new template options to design.

New site templates

When we signed with you a 2 or 3 years ago we were told newer, fresher page templates would be developed. We were hesitant to sign up because of the current templates but relented because of the suggestion that newer fresher page templates were coming. Nothing yet 😕
The existing templates need updating. Any idea when?
Meredith Owens
We're sorry to hear that you're not happy with the current template options! We do still have plans to expand our template options, however, we have to finish redesigning the community website front ends before that will be possible.
Over the past several years, our product team's primary goal has been to finish developing our next gen front ends, which is an enormous project for our team, as it’s a total rewrite of the existing front ends using new cutting-edge technology and design. We’ve prioritized this because improving the front ends considerably allows us to release new features faster.
Our product team has already made significant progress by releasing the Admin Portal, developing a page management experience in the Admin Portal, and updating our company website. The last major piece of this project is developing the new front ends for our community websites, as mentioned above. While we don't have an estimated timeframe for when these will be completed yet, our team is making rapid progress with this last major project!
In the meantime, I'll merge your request with our open post about providing additional template options. That way, you'll be notified via email when we update its status.
Also, we're collecting feedback on what our users would like to have available. Are there specific template designs, colors, or layouts that you'd like to see offered in the future?

More options in settings for website appearance

I have cycled through all the available website "backgrounds" throughout the months, sure would like more options... maybe even seasonal stuff!
