Pulse is a social networking portal for communities, including Homeowners Associations (HOAs), Condominium Owners Associations (COAs), Property Owners Associations (POAs) and townships. This is a digital extension of your community. All you have to do is log in and live the lifestyle you want to, at your convenience.

Like most other websites, Pulse is first and foremost a communications medium for residences – but that’s about where the similarities with Pulse start and end. OpenHOA is rethinking how technology can help communities communicate and manage their associations. OpenHOA started the open source movement for associations and is a market leader with its Pulse website application, delivering a feature-rich set of Web 2.0 functions that offers an unsurpassed experience for users.

Pulse websites are built upon on Joomla!, a highly developed open source project, so they are easy to administer and come packed with features. The site also serves as an intranet for community management, easing the administrative burden for community volunteers and property managers alike. Lastly, the social networking component is the ‘ultimate amenity’ to residents, affording a medium whereby neighbors can join clubs, start a playgroup, or find a tennis partner and make court reservations.
