OnlineCandidate

This was the best experience so far in my campaign for a city council position in a major city. Carol personally talked me through my choices and made them understandable to a person that has never built a web page before. Everything about the experience was wonderful. When discussing with friends who have had to built web pages I even marveled more at my personal experience. If you are a candidate on a llimited or not so limited budget and even if you have not had any experience at this put yourself in their hands and you will not regret it. Thank you ONLINECANDIDATE...

I was recently in charge of obtaining a campaign web site to support our re-election efforts. We had used a custom site on our first election over 12 years ago and it was a lot of work. I am very comfortable with the technology, but I did not want to invest the necessary time if we did it the old way.

I reviewed a number of different sites that support campaigns and settled on online candidate. I found them to be extremely responsive to our needs and questions. Once we paid our fee, the site was a breeze to setup and they were very quick to help create the banner graphics. Whenever I had a question, Carol was quick to answer. Their customer service is top of the line.

An important feature which we did not consider much at the beginning was their data tracking. They have great stats and other tracking information that allow you to see what the voters are focusing on. This helped us modify our campaign on the fly based on this real time data.

I really liked that I could get the site up and running quickly and then add some of the more complex items as we went along. Integration of PayPal for donations was quick and easy. We even were able to link our campaign photos from another site which processed them into animations and then displayed it on our campaign site.

Do yourself a favor and skip the "do it yourself" route and just use online candidate!

I had used a different service while working on a political campaign, which by definiation screams "small budget". I consider myself somewhat technically literate and the experiece prior left me frustrated and not looking forward to creating yet another website.
Someone recommended onlinecandidate.com to me. We had already tried a custom webdesigner and had paid more than the entire hosting, website and design work and had nothing to show for it.
Within hours of locating, paying for the service, uploading the candidate's picture - we had a website created and a logo back from the company. Their customer service is responsive, comprehensive and professional. We even had a question about some functionality which was addressed immediantly even though they were not advertising that as an option.

I highly recommend anyone with full or limited experience to utilize this service. Our best critique came from our opponent - they complained that our website was professional and they couldn't afford to do that. Funny as we spent so few dollars. It truly is in "Who" you know not "What" you know. We "know" the people at www.onlinecandidate.com and they made us look good.

I purchased the Lite website package at 8AM, Carol herself called at 10AM because I mis-typed my email address and she got the confirmation email back from me as undeliverable. I received the link to the admin site at 12 Noon and began customizing my site at 1PM. I'ts 2:30PM and I can see my live site online already. Best value, best service and best quick and easy site. The site customizer is definitely tailored to political sites which is good because I have zero web experience. Thanks Carol!
