For self-managed HOA boards
Stop paying twice for what your HOA already decided.
Trellis is a website and management platform built for self-managed HOAs — with an assistant that remembers every document, decision, and email your community has ever produced.
Article I — The Problem
Every board has someone who remembers.
The one who knows the letter from 2016, the report from three years ago, exactly which drawer the insurance file lives in. What happens when they roll off the board?
Most HOA software assumes the answer is "hope the next person is just as thorough." Trellis doesn't. Every document, decision, and email your board has ever produced lives in one searchable place — available to whoever's on the board long after the person who filed it away is gone.
The kind of moment Trellis is built for
A board was about to hire a consultant for a new environmental study — until one member pointed out it had already been done. Twice. A professional letter from 2016. An engineering report from 2024. With Trellis, that answer is one search away, sourced back to the original document — not locked in a single person's inbox.
Article II — What Trellis Does
Everything your board needs, in one place your board controls.
A website, a member portal, and an institutional memory that doesn't retire when a board member does.
-
Member & board portal
Homeowners and board members sign in with their own accounts, each with the right access — no shared password, no spreadsheet of who's on the board.
-
Documents, news, and a calendar
CC&Rs, minutes, and insurance certs in one place; announcements and meetings where members will actually see them.
-
Ask it anything
Plain-English questions over everything your HOA has ever produced. Every answer points back to the actual source document.
-
Forward it, and it remembers
Board members keep doing what they already do — forwarding an email — it just stops disappearing into one inbox.
-
Resale paperwork, handled
When a home sells, the legally required paperwork gets pulled together automatically instead of a board member scrambling against a deadline.
-
Voting that doesn't fight you
Online elections built to actually format a ballot correctly — a common complaint about the tools boards use today.
-
A directory, just to look around
Sounds small. People genuinely use this one — plain curiosity about who else is in the neighborhood.
-
Your site, your rules
Content and branding changes are yours to make directly — never a support ticket away.
Article III — How It Works
Set up once. It only gets more useful.
-
Your board gets a site
Set up under your own subdomain, ready for your board to run directly.
-
Load in what you already have
CC&Rs, minutes, past correspondence — upload it or forward it, and it's indexed automatically.
-
Anyone can ask, anytime
A board member or homeowner asks a question, gets a sourced answer, in seconds.
Article IV — The Ask
We're working directly with a small number of boards.
Trellis isn't a self-serve signup yet — we're onboarding a handful of HOAs directly, hands-on, to get it right.
If any of this sounds like something your board actually needs, we'd like to talk.
