Dear Canterwood Residents,

The time has come to update our visitor management system and begin using a program called DwellingLIVE. This will replace our current CapSure System. The HOA office has sent out welcome letters to all the residents with your one time registration code. Below is the printable user guide if you need some assistance once you have gotten yourself logged in and set up.

As DwellingLIVE ramps up Meleanie and Jennie will be available in the HOA office Monday- Friday from 9:00 - 4:00PM. They can help answer any question about the software or how to use the software.
 
This will be a learning curve for everyone but we are confident that the adjustment to  DwellingLIVE will be uncomplicated. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in making this successful.

Sincerely,

The Canterwood HOA Board of Directors

Welcome to the new Canterwood HOA website, we hope that you find more opportunities to connect and communicate with your neighbors, the BOD and committees that keep this neighborhood excellent.

​The Technology & Communication committee started this project in April of 2016 as one of the newer community volunteer committees started by the BOD. Our two main goals for the site were to re-host the site to allow for lower fees and more efficient updates to the site by our current administrative staff. We also wanted to provide a platform to build and integrate new technology in the future.

We have updated the look and feel and all of the content was transferred over from the "old site." Some of the new features you will see as you navigate through the site are:

• Feedback forms for HOA, BOD, Admins and Webmaster.
  
• Responsive to mobile devices
• On-line forms for common ACC and Admin activity.
  
• Calendar and the option to book parks, meeting space or tennis courts through the request form.
  
• The Governing docs are now searchable!
  
• We have added a scrolling "ticker" for urgent announcements and a News & Announcements tab so that you can easily reference information that is distributed to residents.

We hope to hear your feedback through the webmaster feedback form. We are adding elements that can be sustained by our internal staff and be supported by our (modest) budget. Our committee considers this a "living site" that will continue to be updated and upgraded and the first step to better communication with our Canterwood neighbors.

If you would like to get involved with this committee please email Melanie at the Canterwood office- canterwood@bell-anderson.net
