Shenandoah Farms is two lakes, riverfront common land and neighbors who look after it together, in Warren and Clarke Counties, Virginia, a short drive from Front Royal. WIIWID designed and built the new website for its Property Owners, with what owners come for right up front: dues, documents, meetings and minutes, the calendar and forms.
The new site is in production and will launch at this address.
Around the Farms
Owner services
Screenshots of the new Shenandoah Farms website, in production. Pick a page to see it.
Pay Dues, Documents, Meetings and Forms sit in a row just under the home page's headline, and each one opens a page built for that one job. The calendar and Farm News are a click away in the menu.
Pick what you're paying (the annual assessment, a Community Center rental, decal and gate access, or another balance), enter the amount from your statement, and continue to iPOSpays' hosted, PCI-compliant card page. Card details never touch the site.

“Posted online — no request required.”
Approved minutes are linked from each meeting, and agendas and minutes are filed in the document library, so owners don't need to call or visit the office for them.
Shenandoah Farms is owned and run by its property owners. In the site's words, “the lakes, the riverfront, and the shared grounds belong to the members, and the work of caring for them happens in the open, at monthly meetings and in active committees.”
Two lakes at the heart of the community, cared for by the membership.
Spring Lake · Lake of the Clouds
Common land along the Shenandoah River with access and quiet places to gather.
Riverview Boat Landing · Treasure Island
Community roads maintained through the Warren County Sanitary District.
Shenandoah Farms Sanitary District
The home page's three highlights, in its own words. On the site each carries a photo from the community; here they wear the site's ridgeline art.
“Spread over roughly 7,000 acres, Shenandoah Farms is the second largest community in Virginia … the people who live and vacation here cherish the sound of the woods and the views of the mountains and river.”
General Membership Meetings are held here every month, and every owner is welcome.
Owners elect a Board of Directors by district, much of the work happens in committees any owner can join, and the membership meets every month. The site gives each of them a home, and shows owners where they fit.
Directors listed by voting district, each with their role and a portrait where there is one, and a plain guide to how the community is divided.
Seven committees, from Roads and Common Properties to Recreation, Planning, Finance, Public Relations and Nominating, each with what it does and when it meets.
General and executive meetings with links to their approved minutes, plus an agendas page and a minutes page that hold the archive.
And the rest of the site
How the roads are funded and maintained through the Warren County district, and how to report a problem.
The long-term plan for roads and properties, and how an owner's idea makes its way into it.
Spring Lake, Lake of the Clouds, the boat landing, the river parks and the Community Center.
How a weekend community established in 1970 grew into a place of full-time homes as well as retreats.
Warren and Clarke County offices, public safety and state services, gathered in one place.
A contact form, the address, phone and walk-in hours, and a map to the Community Center.
Every page reads its content through one typed interface. Today it is backed by plain content files in the repository. A Supabase schema already mirrors it, so a client-editable admin can take over later without changing a single page.
The content
Typed files under content/
Site settings and navigation, the long-form pages, Farm News, the board and committees, events, meetings, documents, forms, resources and payment types.
site.tsnews.tsdocuments.ts…The seam
lib/data: one interface, 20 methods
getNews, getDocuments, getUpcomingEvents, getMeetings, getForms and the rest. Nothing in the UI imports content directly.

Supabase provider
A 15-table schema mirrors the types, with tables for form submissions, payments and redirects too. Its methods are stubbed, ready to fill in.

Six of the nine are shown.
The plumbing
Zod checks every submission, a hidden honeypot field turns bots away without a puzzle, and Resend emails it to the office. With no key set, it logs instead, so the site runs anywhere.
The iPOSpays hosted-page flow lives in one file: start the payment, send the owner to the secure card page, bring them back to a success or failure page. Until the keys are in, the page points owners to the current payment portal.
Per-page titles, descriptions and share cards; structured data for the association, its events, news and breadcrumbs; a sitemap, robots.txt and a generated share image.
An RSS feed for Farm News and an .ics feed for the calendar, both built from the same content as the pages.
Event times are pinned to Eastern time, so a 10:00 AM meeting reads 10:00 AM wherever the server happens to run.
A design system the code calls Refined Naturalist: deep forest green, warm sand, a river-blue accent and a sparing clay. Fraunces for headings, Newsreader for reading, and Libre Franklin for the small working parts.
One drawn landscape in five palettes. The site paints it wherever a photo is missing or fails to load, so a page never shows a broken image.
Little detailsPages render on the server with React Server Components, and the home page and calendar refresh every hour. Long-form pages are written in Markdown. The site needs no settings to run: without keys, forms log to the console and the Pay page shows its fallback.
The new site is in production and will launch at shenandoahfarms.org. Want one like it for your community, club or association?
