Running in 2027 or 2028? Reserve your launch now and lock today’s price.
We build finished campaign websites for local candidates of any party. You give us 30 minutes and your photos. We write the pages, connect your donate button and put you online looking like you mean it.
Most voters will meet you on a phone, tapping through from a Facebook post. We design for that first, then make it look just as sharp on a laptop.
General website builders make you hunt for an endorsements block or a voter-deadline page. Ours ship with them, laid out for phones first, because that's where most of your voters will tap through from a Facebook post.
Dana Whitfield isn't real, but her site is. Click through the demo to see every page working.
National platforms treat county and city races as their cheapest tier and still leave the writing to you. We start from what these offices are actually about.
The clock starts when we have your photos and our phone interview. Most candidates spend about two hours of their own time in total.
We pick and register your domain together and confirm your colors, office and election date.
We ask why you're running and what you'd do first. Your answers become your bio and issue pages.
Pages written, photos edited for the web, donate and volunteer links connected, disclaimer in the footer.
You read every page on your phone and send changes. Plain-language edits, no software to learn.
We test every button, form and link, check readability and contrast, and confirm your paid-for-by line.
You go live, with a launch-day post ready to share and your site submitted to Google.
Campaign finance rules treat a private discount as a possible contribution, so we don't do them. What you see is what every candidate pays. First-time candidates get $100 off setup, and that's public too.
A clean five-page site, live fast.

A $29-a-month builder looks cheaper until you count the evenings you spend writing pages and fighting layouts in the middle of a campaign.

Every new candidate will need a site at the same time, right around filing season. Reserve now and you skip that line.
CandidateLaunch was started by a local candidate, not a software company. Leroy Godfrey Jr. built his own county council campaign site, including a public scorecard tracking every open question on a major rezoning, and learned what a local race actually needs from a website.
That means hearing calendars next to meet-and-greets, issue pages that follow a live fight from first reading to final vote, and a site that reads clearly on an older voter's phone. It also means knowing you don't have time to learn web design in the middle of knocking doors.

Whether you hire us or build it yourself, start here.
Yes. We build for Republicans, Democrats, independents and candidates in nonpartisan races. Our prices and terms are the same for everyone, and we don't take positions on races.
Every site starts from a campaign template we've already built and tested. Your week is spent on your content, not on code. The clock starts once we have your photos and our 30-minute interview.
You do. We register the domain in your name or your committee's name, and you can take a full export of the site at any time.
No. Your donate button links to your own WinRed, ActBlue, Anedot or other processor page. Money goes straight to your campaign and never passes through us.
It's the right time to lock in your domain and plan. A $99 deposit reserves a launch slot and counts toward setup, and it's refunded if you decide not to run before work begins.
