LAUNCH YOUR POLITICAL

CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

THE FAST & EASY WAY

Get a professionally designed website,
without the designer price tag

After more than a decade working as an adviser to politicians and on political campaigns, I know exactly the content you need to share to connect with voters, and the systems you can add to your website to make your campaign run more smoothly.

I’ve also designed and built a lot of Squarespace websites over the past eight years while working as a designer and digital marketer.

My political campaign website templates let you take my experience and insights and transform it into your own campaign site, without the full cost of hiring a website designer.

DIY WITH A TEMPLATE

Each design available as a template comes with:

  • A content checklist to help you collate and create everything you need to personalise your website.

  • A step-by-step online guide to with videos that walk you through the process to transform the template into your personalised campaign site.

  • An extended six-month trial to give you plenty of time to work on your website - although you won’t need it. Once you have your content together updating the website will just take a few hours.

  • Email-based support to help you out if you get stuck.

JUST DIFM PLEASE

While learning to update a purpose-built Squarespace template is a lot easier than door-knocking a suburb, if you don’t have the time - I might.

If you want someone to Do It For You, I can work with you to find a suitable design slot.

You will then be given a deadline to provide the necessary content and branding, so I can take care of all the updates and design tweaks.
