- Description: A political campaign website built for an election: candidate profiles, manifesto, how-to-vote page and a newsletter sent from the site — bilingual if you need it, live in days, and still useful after polling day.

An election campaign has a fixed date, a team of volunteers and very little time. Your website has to be online fast, look credible from day one, and let anyone in the team publish without calling a developer. We build **election campaign websites for candidates, lists, political parties and elected representatives** — and we have done it for real lists in real elections, in French and in English.

## What a campaign website needs

- **A page for every candidate** — photo, role on the list, a short biography — and a team grid on the home page.
- **Your manifesto**, split into themes people can read and share one by one.
- **A "How to vote" page**: dates, polling stations, postal or online voting. It is often the most visited page in the final week.
- **News and events**: meetings, interviews, press coverage.
- **A newsletter sent from the site itself** — supporters sign up on the site and you write to them from the same screen you publish on. No separate emailing tool, and the list stays yours.
- **Bilingual if your electorate is**: French and English side by side, with a language switcher on every page.
- **Your colours, your photos, your logo** — not a template anyone could recognise.

## Built on open-source software

Every site runs on [Ghost®](https://en1.abstract27.com/ghost-cms/), the open-source publishing platform used by newsrooms. The editor is simple enough for a volunteer to post a news item in two minutes, and the content can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in.

For campaigns that want a fully bespoke design, we also build a custom front end on top of two Ghost instances, one per language. That is what we did for the list **Ensemble!** (see below).

## Live in days, not months

A campaign cannot wait for a three-month web project. We start from a theme designed for campaigns — hero with the team photo, candidate grid, manifesto and how-to-vote pages — put it in your colours, load your candidates and hand over the keys. Your team is trained to publish on its own.

## Compliance, built in

- **Digital imprints (UK)**: since the Elections Act 2022, digital campaign material must say who published it. We put the imprint in the site footer so it appears on every page.
- **Personal data**: newsletter sign-ups use an explicit opt-in, with a privacy page and a one-click unsubscribe link in every email.
- **French elections**: if you are standing in a French election, we plan for the rules on campaign spending and the publishing freeze before polling day.

## After polling day

A campaign site doesn't have to go dark the morning after the vote. It can become **the channel your elected representatives use to report back to the community**: surgeries, interviews, positions on local issues. The audience you built during the campaign keeps receiving your news.

## Our political and civic projects

We have built and host websites for consular election lists in the United Kingdom and for a civic association. They are listed below, with a detailed case study for each one.

## Pricing

Every site includes managed hosting for Ghost, SSL, daily backups and support. See our [plans and pricing](https://en1.abstract27.com/services/), or [tell us about your campaign](https://en1.abstract27.com/contact/#book-a-call) and we'll send you a quote.
