What a civic campaign website needs to do
People arrive from a flyer, a post or a conversation and decide fast. Lead with what the campaign is, what you ask people to do and when, then give short pages for volunteering, events and giving.
Campaign sites often go live late. Keeping the site to a few pages that can be updated quickly protects you when the schedule moves and the message evolves.
People searching for a civic campaign usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.

Timing matters. Deadlines and election calendars compress the timeline.
The pages a civic campaign website needs
A civic campaign site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with the ask
- ✓About the issue
- ✓Get involved
- ✓Events
- ✓Contact
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on civic campaign websites

Websites are priced one-time, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks and A/B testing. Every package includes a consultation, mobile-friendly design, copy we write for you, a contact form, essential search setup and 10 revision rounds.
