Sharper copy on the homepage By Industry pills
Rewrote the section intro and all six industry-card descriptions on the homepage to be tighter, more specific, and more honest about what each community type actually gets out of SoShiny. Condos lead with searchable rules; HOAs lead with the no-manager-markup promise; Marinas with the COI + spreadsheet pain; Mobile Home Parks with ROC fit; Deed-Restricted with ARC/board alignment; 55+ with the lobby TV + plain-language angle.
Mobile Home Parks & ROC co-ops join the lineup
Repurposed the RV Parks vertical (URL still /rv-parks.php) into a dedicated landing for mobile home parks, manufactured-housing co-ops, and 55+ communities — leaning into the resident-owned community (ROC) board-governance use case where SoShiny actually shines. New copy throughout: per-lot directory, snowbird tracking, amenity booking, online voting from out-of-state, and a 96-lot Florida ROC use case. Homepage By Industry card matches.
Deed-Restricted Communities & POAs join the lineup
Repurposed the Campgrounds industry page (URL still /campgrounds.php) into a dedicated landing for deed-restricted communities and Property Owners Associations (POAs). New title, lede, three pain-points (covenants buried in a binder, ARC chasing paper, violations stalling mid-process), six features focused on architectural review + searchable covenants + per-lot violations workflow, a 320-lot use case, and five FAQs. Homepage By Industry card matches.

More answers on the homepage FAQ
Expanded the homepage FAQ from 5 to 14 questions — now covering which kinds of communities SoShiny serves, pricing, the free trial, contracts, custom domains, electronic signatures, online voting, email broadcasts, and the lobby announcement TV. Laid out in a clean two-column grid, and the questions feed structured data so they're eligible to appear directly in Google search results.
"Owners / Renters" renamed to "Community Directory"
The sidebar entry, page title, and heading have all been renamed from "Directory" / "Owners / Renters" to "Community Directory" — clearer about who's listed and consistent with how boards refer to it.
Pricing page simplified — two plans, clearer Starter label
The Enterprise card has been removed from the public pricing page. We now show two plans side by side: Starter (small HOAs) for up to 20 units at $20/mo flat, and Growth for 21+ units at $20 base plus $0.50 per unit over 20. Every plan still includes every feature — there is no tier-gating. The custom-domain add-on at $99/year continues to sit below the plan grid.
Pricing page now lists the custom-domain add-on ($99/year)
Associations that want to run their community on their own domain (e.g. yourassociation.com) instead of soshiny.com/{slug}/ can add that to any plan for $99/year. We provide DNS instructions, provision the SSL certificate, and handle the routing. Currently available by request via the waitlist link on the pricing page while the routing layer is finished.
Governing documents guide for residents
A new in-app reference page explains Florida HOA and condo governing documents in plain language — what a Declaration of Condominium is, how it differs from the Bylaws and Rules, who can change what and by what vote threshold, and what residents can do if they disagree with a rule. Linked from the Rules & Bylaws page. Scoped to each association's city and type. No legalese.
Marketing site refreshed with the new feature set
The public home at soshiny.com now shows what's actually been built: 12 hero feature tiles (Rules, Documents, Announcements, ARC, Work Orders, Concerns, Events, Committees, Directory, Public Landing, Parking & Units, Global Search) plus a 'boring-but-essential' strip below (Insurance, Employees, Contacts, FAQ, Media, Locations, Storage, Activity log, Print everything). Hero copy and FAQ refreshed too — pricing bullets now honestly call out 1 GB free + $5/mo per extra GB instead of the old 'Unlimited storage' line.
Hero headline + lede rewrite
New headline: 'Transparent, Simplified and Built for Your Community.' New lede pays off the three words — every feature on every plan, in one portal your board can run and your community will actually use.
Pricing model finalized
$20 flat for up to 10 units, $0.50/unit for 11-100, $0.75/unit for 101+. 30-day free trial included. Every plan includes every feature — no tier-gating on SSO, API access, or audit log export. Calculator updated, all four pricing cards show identical features.
