We are thrilled to announce that the new Laguna Woods Village website is in its final phases and is set to launch tentatively early November. This comprehensive project is the result of a collaborative effort involving a GRF committee, resident feedback and testing, Village Management Services (VMS) staff, and our contractor, Urban Insight, who in its 24-year experience has planned, designed, developed and successfully launched more than 500 websites.

Key Features and Design Elements

During the design phase, Urban Insight and VMS worked diligently to identify essential functionalities and design elements tailored to meet the needs of residents, board members, realtors and staff. During this phase, Urban Insight created initial design “wireframes,” or navigation and design roadmaps, to align with the Village brand and resident expectations.

In the current development phase, the focus is on improving document handling, enhancing the search function and integrating single sign-on capabilities. The collaborative user testing effort with residents aims not only to enhance resident engagement but also increase operational transparency.

Impressive Content Migration

To date, a significant amount of content has been successfully migrated to the new website, including:

• Over 11,000 files and images
• Over 7,000 documents
• 720 news posts
• 745 club posts

Enhanced Search Functionality

One of the major improvements in the new website is the enhanced search function, which now includes:

• Autosuggestions as users enter queries
• Indexed and available documents for easy access
• The ability to customize results for specific queries

Improved Privacy and Security

Privacy and security have been a top priority in the development of the new website. Key improvements include:

• The ability to restrict documents and pages to residents only
• An easy-to-use login system based on the existing resident portal login

The design concepts were officially debuted to the Media and Communications Committee on July 15, showcasing the thoughtful and resident-centric approach taken in this project.

Training and Support

Urban Insight has been instrumental in providing training for content editors and webmasters via comprehensive documentation, instructional videos and training sessions to ensure a smooth transition to the new platform.

Final Steps

As we approach the final stages of this project, the focus will be on:

• Content entry and updating
• SEO implementation
• Final content migration to sync new and initial content
• Beta testing and user testing

We are eagerly anticipating the official site launch at the beginning of November. Post-launch, we will continue to provide support to ensure a seamless user experience.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to unveiling the new and improved Laguna Woods Village website!

Village Management Services is excited to announce that Third Mutual and the Landscaping Services Department has kicked off a new paint program relandscaping project in designated areas throughout the mutual. With this work, Third Mutual intends to reduce moisture intrusion incidents and dry rot by moving plant material away from buildings, eliminating high-water-use irrigation spray heads and rearranging shrub beds to ensure water flows away from buildings. Plus, new drip irrigation and plant material will reduce maintenance and water costs.

Coordinated Efforts, Enhanced Community

Third Mutual’s buildings are painted every 15 years, a practice that gives the mutual its fresh-looking and well-maintained appearance. This new program expedites the current painting process by removing plant material that hinders paint and repair work, saving time and money.

Drought-Tolerant Landscaping

New landscaping will feature drought-tolerant plants that help reduce overall water consumption while maintaining a beautiful and vibrant community, and support the Village’s sustainability and water conservation commitment.

In addition, advanced irrigation systems will deliver water more efficiently, ensuring plants receive the right amount of moisture without waste.

A Careful Process

1. Preparation: Landscaping Department staff will remove all landscaping from around a building before painting begins—a crucial step that prevents damage from painting equipment.
2. Turf removal: Approximately 10% of turf adjacent to shrub beds will be removed to expand bed size (where applicable).
3. Regrading: Soil around the building will be regraded for a positive slope and an even surface to help with overall landscaping aesthetics and maintenance.
4. Irrigation: Irrigation heads/lines will be capped or turned off.
5. Painting: Prior-to-paint and paint crews will proceed to give buildings a fresh look.
6. Replanting: Crews will replant the area, positioning plants three feet away from the building, which helps prevent dry rot by reducing moisture accumulation near building walls and allows paint crews to move their boom lifts without trampling plants.

Community Effort

Landscaping work will be completed in phases, each taking several weeks. Third Mutual and Landscaping Services are confident this new program will lead to an even more beautiful, sustainable and well-maintained community. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this work. Contact Resident Services at residentservices@vmsinc.org 或者 949-597-4600 with questions or for more information.

Thank you for your cooperation in the commitment to keeping the community beautiful and environmentally friendly.
