Description

Online Candidate is a political campaign website design service and website builder created specifically for candidates, campaign committees, and political organizations. Since 2004, we have helped local, state, and federal campaigns launch professional campaign websites. Flexible package options range from do-it-yourself monthly websites to professionally designed campaign sites, giving campaigns a choice based on their budget, timeline, and level of support needed. All websites run on the same campaign-specific platform, so clients can update and manage their content throughout the campaign. The platform includes a flexible page editor along with built-in tools for campaign news, events, volunteer signups, endorsements, contact forms, donation calls to action, election countdowns, notice bars, popovers, landing pages, SEO controls, website analytics, and multi-user access. Form submissions are stored within the campaign dashboard for easy review. Campaigns can connect external fundraising services including ActBlue, WinRed, Anedot, and Raise the Money, as well as email marketing platforms. Packages also include a domain name, SSL, campaign email addresses, technical support, and access to campaign templates, tools, and educational resources developed specifically for political candidates.
