When it comes to running for political office, the last thing you have time to do is build your own website. Why not turn this task over to the experts so you can focus on campaigning!
The experienced team of Squarespace website designers and developers at Fix8 Media in Boulder County, Colorado, have built a number of campaign websites over the years, most recently for Florida State Senator Maria Sachs running for Palm Beach County Commission District 5 (mariasachs.com). With this and any political campaign website, the Squarespace platform offers a number of advantages. Below are Fix8 Media’s top five benefits of building your political campaign website in Squarespace:
The Squarespace platform offers politicians
beautiful pre-built landing pages to highlight special initiatives, request donations, and more. These pages can be designed and launched with relative ease, critical to the time-sensitivity that comes with the race.
The ability to draw visitors’ attention to key components of your campaign platform or messaging is made easy by Squarespace’s built-in marketing tools, such as the Announcement Bar at the Promotional Pop Up. The Announcement Bar at the very top of the website over the navigation serves as a message board to grab the visitor’s attention, while a Pop Up is an equally effective way to bring an important initiative or ask front and center.
Candidates have the option to either use Squarespace’s donation functionality or link out to other popular donation tools, such as ActBlue.
The Squarespace blog gives your campaign content legs, offering the ability to cross-publish to social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Keep your supporters up to date on news and events with the built-in Squarespace Email Campaign tool, which enables you to create on-brand email newsletters right in your Squarespace account.
