 Election Websites (For
Governments)
Now that the majority of
homes in America have a computer, many local governments are
recognizing that the web can be a valuable tool for
communicating information to their community.
Many counties are
looking to modernize their election process. It makes
sense. More people are voting than ever before. The
demand for information is high and budgets are getting tighter
as processes streamline.
When developing
a Web site, our only focus isn't on a cool design. We find that
it is crucial to give equal attention to all of the aspects that
make up a great site — organization, content, usability,
maintainability, and, of course, design.
How much do you know about web design? Chances are, you are
not an expert in HTML or web design. You don't have to be!
Not only do we give you endless support and updates, but we use
interactive technology that allows you to make changes to your
website without having to have any specialized training.
If you can send an email, you can up date your website!
It's that easy. In fact, we have taught most of our users
how to use the programs over the phone and in less than 5
minutes!
What can
your website offer?
-
Real
time voter returns - Every time you have a new
ballot count, post the numbers live on the internet.
Thousands of voters and candidates will be gathered around the
computer monitor waiting for the results to change. This
is great because they won't be calling your office to ask for
updates. The press loves it, too! They'll often
pace your website and get the numbers to post on their
website.
-
Candidate Profiles - Give the candidates a username and
password to update their online profiles. This gives the
voters a chance to see what their choice are. This gives
the candidates an equal forum to display themselves and what
they stand for.
-
Polling
Locations - Ahh, the most common asked question - Where do
I vote? Enter in the address of the polling place and
the precinct number and you're done. A MapQuest
TM
map will be generated automatically to show the voter
directions.
-
Sample
Ballots - Upload sample ballots so the voters will be able
to see what they'll be using on election day. This way,
if they have any questions, they can contact you before
election day or before they go into the booth.
-
Register to vote - links to voter registration websites
and state election websites will help the voter understand the
process even better. A better informed voter makes your
job so much easier.
-
Election News - Keep your voters informed by posting news
concerning the election on your website. Important dates
and deadlines, rule changes, office hours, and more are things
people want to know. Don't wait for or depend on the
newspaper to publish your important news - put it on your
website.
We can do so
much more. Just ask. We'll try to implement your
ideas into your website just the way you want them. Don't
know what you want? Not to worry - our design consultants
have the experience to make your website a success!
