Here are the top two reasons we have heard over the years why people consider using a friend to build their website:
- It's "free"
- They're my friend
It's Free: Unfortunately, that is not true. If you have someone build your website for "free", you will still have to pay $10 - $30 a month to host the website. Also, you can add another $15 - $25 a month for merchant services if you want to accept online contributions.
Let's not forget the fact that you're also going to need an online database for your volunteers or members, mass e-mail capabilities, and all the other benefits that a professional political website needs to be successful.
Another important fact you need to know is that using a person who is not familiar with designing political websites can actually cost you money! Professional political fundraisers will tell you that you never know what will trigger a donor to contribute. That is why is so important to have a website that is designed by political professionals. Our websites are designed to ensure that you have the best opportunity to receive online contributions.
They're my friend: And we want you to remain friends. Experience has taught us that though the friend's heart is usually in the right place, too often they come up short in delivering the type of website a political organization or candidate needs to succeed. Campaign websites are simply different animals than the standard websites that most people build. It's like a heart patient going to a dentist instead of a cardiologist for their heart surgery. While both are doctors, one is better suited for the task at hand.
But don't worry. You can turn this potential negative into a positive! Our founders have nearly two decades of political experience, and they know that you never turn down someone who is willing to volunteer. Simply ask them to manage your new GOPzone.net website for you! They can be closely involved with your campaign or organization, and you get the powerful tools you need to succeed!
