Can this man be any smarter?

Ok, so let’s just assume you had a dream candidate for office. Brian Davis here fits the bill as a successful doctor at the Mayo clinic who also has a degree or two from MIT. I am sure there are others out there with those kinds of credentials, but they are not running for Congress.

This is actually the second website for this campaign, as they originally went with another firm and decided the site wasn’t the complete campaign that was promised, and wasn't going to be an asset to the candidate. We deliver top-quality design work that isn't based on any template and is drawn specifically for your campaign.

Presidential Candidates choose Ideal Campaign, why not you?

Wisconsin republicans stay connected

This full featured site gives the Wisconsin Republican Party the ability to publish its news and information easily and quickly.  Also, the news and events have RSS feed capabilities so that other sites can carry their headlines without needing to copy and paste.  Check out their latest blog from the chairman.  This site also features animated donation buttons and count-down timer built in flash.

Strong principles and beliefs form a strong campaign

The Paul Ryan for U.S. Congress campaign contacted us about putting together an attractive website that matched their existing campaign materials.  This website features our new embedded newsletter signup form and easy-to-use image gallery, inviting potential voters and supports to become involved in the campaign while giving the site a more personal touch.  The Ryan campaign also uses our Patriot donation and volunteer management engine.

Self-Funded Candidate takes shot at Mayor race in Wisconsin

As a Wisconsin based company, we really enjoy helping our local elections to look their best. Recently we created this site for Basil Ryan, who is self-funding his campaign to be the next mayor of Franklin, Wisconsin. The photo featured in the header of the site is interesting as it isn't exactly real. Apparently the fire department in the background was a project in which the candidate was critical, so when Basil called us for a site, we immediately wanted this project present in the photography. The image you see here is typical for our artists, in taking photos and making them what you need for your campaign. We can remove background elements as well as add new ones to send the message you want to broadcast to potential voters.  In this case, we shot the photos (which we can do for local campaigns), and modified them as needed.  Photography is critical for the campaign as well as the website, that is why it is a major part of the process in engaging us to do your website.

No political experience means a fresh start

This creative campaign website was pounded out over a weekend and was fully vetted and operational by Wednesday.  Our donation and volunteer engine is also being used, and those of you who have read about it know we can have that puppy operational in 5 minutes. 

This race for Congress takes place in Maryland and features a man with no political experience.  We love seeing this kind of candidate as they bring a ton of new and fresh ideas into the system.  Everyone has to start somewhere, so best of luck Bruce!

When you needed a website yesterday, we can help

We received a call from the Kevin Burns campaign because they needed help, and they needed it now.  Kevin is running for a congressional position that had been held for almost 20 years by Dennis Hastert, and their website has to be top-notch.  However, they had enlisted the services of another political website company that offered a complete campaign, took an eon, and delivered dreadful results the day before the announcement! 

Even with this impossible deadline, we were able to create a unique site and have it up and operational for them in less at 24 hours!  That isn't a common request, but when you need help quickly we can deliver. (Note that Kevin is running for a district that includes Rock Falls, the home town of our CEO, Scott E. Detweiler). Best of luck Kevin!

Congressional races in Texas get moving

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and we can tell you this applies to political campaigns as well. Jim Squier is running for Congress and wanted to make an impression in this big race with a site that looked sharp and that they could easily update themselves.   After looking at the huge number of people the claim to do campaign websites, they found our creative and professional design work, coupled with our donation engine and resonable prices, to be the perfect solution.

Using the combination of our Ideal Campaign campaign website engine and our Patriot volunteer and donation management system, they can now focus on the race and not worry about the technology.

Michigan Congress Campaign Website

District Attorney Race, Another Win!

This was a nice example of non-traditional colors being used in a campaign website (Ray likes green).  This was a fun project because the client took the time to have professional photos shot, which makes this site a real treat for the eyes.  Photos are most often the weakest point in election campaigns based on our experience.  This campaign is also using our donation and volunteer management system, which is giving them a huge advantage over their competition for this race, which is much like a district attorney in its scope.  Like many of our customers, Ray crushed his opponents in this race with a strong and decisive win.

McCormick campaign becomes Ideal

The Terri McCormick for Congress site was inherited by us because of our solid hosting capabilities and fundraising engine.  However, after seeing the wonderful sites we have created they decided to abandon their old site and let us design them a new campaign website.  All of our sites come with a very slick donation button to attract attention.  Each one is drawn for your campaign, and no two are alike!

Wisconsin Values & Republican Strength

When the ladies of the Wisconsin Federation of Republican Women asked if our content management system could allow each of their 72 county clubs to have a separate area of the site, they were elated to hear us say, "no problem."  With security to allow them to edit only their own content, such a site is simple to setup and maintain.

Kate Falk's ideas spark site to question her judgment

When your opponent states a policy you think would be devastating to our way of life, you can do more than scream about it.  We created this site for the Bucher Campaign when they heard an opponent say she would let 50% of the people in the state prison back onto the streets. 

What is so cool about this website is that it is simply a page in the Bucher site that has a different look & feel to help hit home the apparent idiocy of her suggested policy.  Sub-skins like this are inexpensive, easy to add to your site, and highly effective.  This site also features on-screen pop-ups of the criminal details for the people listed who will soon be living in a home near you.

Washington State Representative Candidate Can See Clearly

It seems like a trend to us, we have noticed a lot more medical professionals taking a break from their normal career to pop into public office for a term or two.  From our talking to these intelligent and assertive individuals, they are unhappy with people that seem to fear making real changes in government because a typical politician wants to be re-elected.  Since their real jobs are a lot more promising, they can get things done without the fears most people have in trying to make this a career.  A nice breath of fresh air indeed!  Check out the site for Mel Lindauer for Washington State Representative and throw the man some support in trying to keep representative government just that, representative not a career.
