Lake Toxaway Community Association

A Complete Website Redesign

BACKGROUND:

The Lake Toxaway Community Association (LTCA) is a nonprofit owner’s association serving over 1,200 residential lots in Lake Toxaway Estates, North Carolina. LTCA maintains the lake, private roadways, and amenities for all members residing in the beautiful mountain community.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE:

With a mix of older residents who prefer non-digital channels and younger residents who rely solely on online information, LTCA wanted to create a solution that be both interactive and information while also very user-friendly. Unfortunately, they had neglected their website for years, leaving it very outdated both in design and content. It contained broken links, and incorrect information for both visitors and members, resulting in minimal use by everyone, including the staff.

This lack of a reliable online resource hindered transparet and effective communication between the association and its residents. And, while the main goal was not focused on attracting new property buyers (members), but better serving current owners, LTCA knew that the current state of their online presence was likely hindering their growth.

Goals

Create a visually appealing, user-friendly website that serves as the primary information hub for members as well as guests considering their real estate opportunities.

Showcase the natural beauty and unique character of the Lake Toxaway area as well as the vibrant and family-friendly community.

Increase awareness and engagement within the community by making property owner resources and local attractioin information easily available.

THE SOLUTION:

Developed visual branding that reflects the community’s natural beauty and charm, and to tie their digital and print assets together under one brand identity. 

Designed and built a user-friendly, modern website with intuitive navigation and content that highlights the area’s natural beauty, unique history, and available recreational activities.

Integrated member portals, like their Community Forum (through Circle.so) and Resident Login (through IPM), so members could easily continue using these member-exclusive resources through the new website.

THE RESULT:
