If you're a candidate or a campaign committee, you know -- you just absolutely, positively know -- that you need a campaign website. Now what? Political sites, whether for candidates or for issues, are unique. They need to build awareness, project   credibility,   build support, and achieve very quantifiable results (votes!) in a  very compressed time frame.

 

 From start to finish, from announcement to election, the challenges can be dizzying: messaging, image-building,      fundraising, content management, data base and email management systems, effective community outreach, volunteer coordination and scheduling. There's little allowance for delays, mistakes, or uncertainty.

For a winning campaign, a political website needs to be more than a mere presence. It needs to be a super-charged engine that gets your message out ... brings supporters and volunteers in ... coordinates events and schedules and grassroots activities ... raises money and manages data in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations. It needs to be a resource that you control -- one that can be updated at a moment's notice to generate vital new information that reaches the largest audience possible directly, immediately, and with maximum impact.

If you're the least bit uncertain about whether your website is doing everything it should be doing, ask us for a free, no obligation "second opinion."

Members of the Ely Multimedia Group have developed political websites and worked on political campaigns at every level: local, state, Congressional, and Presidential.

We fully understand how crucial it is to ensure that the Social Networking functionality of political websites is fully integrated with sites such as Facebook, Twitter, My Space, Diggit, Stumbleupon, Linkedin, Yahoo, and more, allowing information to be drawn from and shared with these sites

without the need to update them separately and individually. The click of a button does it for you. And online discussion forums allow candidates to quickly and easily communicate with supporters and the electorate in general to discuss or explain campaign issues, respond to questions or concerns, and build a bigger, stronger base.

We also understand that an effective Content Management System can allow your own campaign staff to create, edit, add to or remove anything on your site without relying on a "webmaster" somewhere who may or may not be available when needed. And with RSS feeds, you'll be able  to generate and disseminate "news" and updates to the media, to supporters, and to other interested individuals and groups virtually with no effort.

And, of course, you'll need proven fundraising mechanisms that put your campaign in greater control of the data and the costs often associated with raising campaign dollars. 

But those are only a very few of the website features that the Ely Multimedia Group can offer to make any campaign more robust, more manageable, and much more likely to succeed. Click here to find out more about how these cutting-edge features can work for you.
