To Council Candidates:
Are you making use of the new social media tools and web tools to benefit your campaign? If not and you need some guidance, please feel free to contact me with any questions and I’ll happily do my level best to help guide you in any way possible.
There are a lot of great outlets for spreading the word about your campaign, many of which are powerful and free. If I can offer you any assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.
Mike, thanks for the offer. Any idea what a modest website costs? I don’t think I have the technical skills to pull one off on my own. Something simple like Michelle F or Mike J’s website would probably do. Basic info plus paypal.

Mitch,
Websites for political campaigns can range from free (volunteer assistance) to $6000, sometimes more depending on the nature of the campaign. I think there are great tools that will get you up and running at minimal cost.
I highly recommend looking at http://wordpress.com – WordPress is one of the best and most powerful content management and publishing systems for the web. Plus, its free and open source, not to mention well supported by the development community, so there are tons of free plug-ins and themes to change the look and feel.
Both Bob Huber and Michelle Foster use WordPress to power their sites. I would look into that which could reduce the cost to just a little bit of your personal time!
