Site Development Tools Make It Fast and Easy!

Overview

No special, technical skills are needed to create and maintain a site on our system. Any press aide, secretary or campaign volunteer can maintain the content of the site using our tools after brief training, while we make the bits and bytes go singing along the wires. We describe the system as
Point, Click, Publish!

Independent!

Of course, if your team includes an editor with the requisite skills, many assumptions of the model can be relaxed and the full range of HTML/CSS can be available. Beneath the visible functions of the site, a comprehensive database keeps track of your content and maintains internet services and transmission. So web skills are useful but not required to get started. We train your content editor while we set up your site.

Localized!

Your site can be edited by a staff member and/or supervised by a qualified web professional in your community. Election Options makes this service available through local webmasters whose skills we've reviewed. A local webmaster can provide design assistance and content management if you don't have your own qualified staff member. Election Options will be there in the background either way maintaining public access to your site and adding new tools and performance features.

Or think of something new. Many previous users came up with innovations we hadn't imagined, building on the intrinsic capabilities of the system.

Easy!

It's easy, because you can update and modify from anywhere. Just type new or replacement text or upload a picture. Everything is handled through simple forms.

If you do have HTML/CSS skills, you can extend the appearance features of the system. We can also create a template of your own design, and your site will have its own unique look.

 

Fast!

It's fast, because we've pre-configured the major components of your site. All you really have to do is add text and graphics. If you got here (and you did), you can make your own site. And you can make it look any way you want, using the templates and tools we provide.
 
 


Webmasters: Easily build numerous sites for candidates in your community. Bill them for your time, we'll bill you for the hosting, editing suite access and publishing. Don't mess around coding one site with HTML and FTP when you can support many sites in the same time. Give your local candidates the power of the Web. You can even manage multiple sites with a single login. It's also a great service for local party organizations to provide to their candidates.
