October 1, 2013
Launched earlier in the 2013 Calgary Municipal election campaign cycle, “John Mar’s re-election site”:http://www.johnmar.ca is just one of the most recent political web site redesigns that Team Armadillo has released the past year.
Does your campaign site know it’s audience?

This post has been re-posted from Armadillo’s President’s personal web site as it touches upon a subject that we’re currently very interested in. We hope you enjoy this post and if you have any questions feel free to contact us at any time.

I’ve said this numerous times, but the world of political campaign web site design is a niche market that seems to be years behind current trends. And while I’ve raged on the issues in other “personal posts”: personal posts, one of the biggest underlying issues with political web design is that there tends to be an “incredible lack of focus”:http://www.ctoverdrive.ca/article/1014/tips-for-building-a-great-municipal-campaign-site on who the audience of these sites really are.
