Our Campaign Website Features

Web Solution's Goals & Features

You are spending a tremendous amount of effort and money to keep voters informed when you run for public office. You will find yourself using several types of media to accomplish this goal. However, when you consider all of the options available, none can be updated as quickly or as cost effectively as your website. That means most of your marketing will direct voters and contributors to your campaign website more than any other area.

You must have a professional web site for your campaign, and our goal is to provide you with exactly that. Because our sites are priced under $3,000, they are probably the cheapest of all of the media you will be purchasing.

Keep this in mind: If you are not going to put effort into getting a professional website created for your campaign, you are probably better off without one.

You edit your website at any time, no geek required!

With the Ideal Campaign Content Management System you can maintain and change your site instantly. No more delays in getting new content onto the site or costly web designer expenditures.

What is a Content Management System?

Imagine a system where you can edit articles and post new photos without knowing a thing about web design. Our system is easy to use, and requires no more technical knowledge that it does to send someone an email. This means that pretty much everyone can use our system with little or no training.

Content Management Systems enhance an organization's ability to create, organize, control, and manage website content. Ideal Campaign created its own, as many of the existing ones available today are template driven and tend to look unprofessional (awful). Our content management application has been specifically designed with non-technical staff in mind, ensuring the right people can manage the content effortlessly.

No matter what your skill level - you can create and manage site content without worrying about how long it will take, and more importantly, how much it's going to cost.

So, what can it do?

Well, the system is constantly being expanded with new functions and modules.

Flexible & Secure

Our security engine is extremely flexible and easy to use. You can create as many users as you like at no additional cost. You can also allow people to register on your site to create their own accounts. Groups may also be created so you can organize your visitors and decide how their site experience should vary.

Page level security can be set so that only certain groups or users can view them. However, if this isn't flexible enough, you can also make adjustments to each column or article on a page. So, hypothetically it would be possible to have a page be visible only to your staff, and yet have the top article be viewable only by the campaign manager. With this incredible flexibility, our customers have created creative solutions to some of their largest campaign communication issues. In fact, Ideal Campaign is the first choice of more US Presidential elections in 2008 than any other campaign website company!
