Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a campaign website?
Absolutely. A campaign website is essential for reaching voters and sharing your message. It costs far less to raise campaign funds online than through direct mail or other methods. With our platform, you can update your site easily, without needing any programming skills.

Why use Online Candidate instead of a generic website builder?
Generic builders are designed for businesses, not candidates. You’d spend hours figuring out what pages you need, how to set up a donation form, and how to integrate volunteer sign-ups — none of which come pre-configured. Online Candidate comes pre-loaded with every page a campaign needs, political fundraising integration built in, and real human support from people who understand elections. No guesswork, no generic templates that look nothing like a campaign site.
“For a very reasonable price, Online Candidate allowed me to build a professional-looking website myself. They offered excellent customer service with a personal touch and great flexibility in creating my website. I am recommending them to everyone I know.” – F. Fuller
Can't I just hire someone locally to build my site?
You can — but there are real risks. A local web developer may have no experience with political campaigns and will almost certainly charge significantly more. More importantly, they’ll hand you a finished site and walk away. When you need to update your issues page the night before a debate, or add an endorsement at 10pm, you’re dependent on their availability — which may not match yours.
A volunteer has the opposite problem. The price is right, but they may lack the skills to do the job professionally — and volunteers disappear when life gets busy, often at the worst possible moment in your campaign.
With Online Candidate, you’re in control. You can make updates yourself at any time without waiting for anyone. And when you do need help, real support is available — from people who understand campaigns and election timelines, not just web design.
What is included when I order?
After your order is processed, you will receive a “Getting Started” email with instructions on how to create your website admin account to log into the site. Depending on your package, we may be designing or setting up your site, there will be additional questionnaires to help us get started.
Your site comes pre-loaded with every page a campaign needs — no guesswork, no starting from scratch:
- Home page
- About the Candidate page
- News / blog section
- Events page
- Issues page
- Endorsement page with form
- Voter Information page
- Volunteer page with signup form
- Contact page with form
- Donation page
- Default or custom Under Construction page
Built in tools includes a countdown widget, social media post integration, customizable forms, image galleries, landing page generator, popup creator and more.
Additionally, all sites are fully responsive, ensuring they look great and function perfectly on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops.
If you are building your own site, you’ll have access to template options for header graphics, logo upload, site colors, fonts and header layout options. You can easily match the website to your existing branding.
Finally, you’ll have access to articles, tools, letter generators, resources and graphic templates through OnlineCandidateResources.com.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes, you can use a domain name you’ve already registered. We’ll provide instructions on how to point it to our servers. If you haven’t registered a domain yet, we include a free .com domain and SSL certificate for security. Specialty domain extensions such as .republican, .democrat and .voting are also available.
What are the political campaign website packages?
We offer three main packages, from the full-service Enhanced Package, which handles everything for you, to DIY options like our Monthly Option for those on a tighter budget. Pricing starts at just $29/month.
You’ll also have free access to OnlineCandidateResources.com.
What is the Monthly Option?
The Monthly Option Campaign Website is perfect for clients who want a flexible, pay-as-you-go plan. It includes all our website tools and features, with month-to-month billing that you can cancel anytime. You can start small and easily upgrade to a custom design or content setup as your campaign grows.
To compare your options, check out our Package Comparison Matrix.
Are there any hidden fees or recurring costs?
No. We believe in up-front pricing. Everything is included in your package, and there are no hidden fees. For clients on the Monthly Option, auto-billing continues until canceled.
What online fundraising options are available?
We integrate seamlessly with popular fundraising platforms like ActBlue, WinRed, PayPal, Anedot, and Raise the Money—at no extra cost. We can help you choose and set up the best option for your campaign.
Can I upgrade later if I need help with custom design or content setup?
Yes! Many candidates start with our Monthly Option for their campaign website and later upgrade to a custom design or have us set up their content. You can upgrade at any time—no need to start over. It’s a flexible way to launch quickly and get extra help when you need it.
