If democracy is going to move into the 21st century, politicians need to get online. So many political websites are so badly made and out-of-date – both technologically and in content – that it is really is quite embarrassing.
Politicians need an online presence if they want to get their message across to the electorate. Without one, contact with your voters is purely via traditional campaigning formats such as leafleting and canvassing.
With a good website, the message can be reinforced and more information given to each voter and requiring less work.
With a bad website, the message is lost and the reader comes away with a poor impression.
hawesWeb Productions has been created in order to provide affordable website design, development and hosting, primarily to Conservative MPs, candidates, and activists, but also to other political organisations and campaigns, payday loan sites and charities whose aims I support.
I was amazed at both the poor quality websites that existed and the inflated charges that were being charged to update them that I thought that as I have skills in this area, I should do what I can to fix the problem.
I am doing this not to make money, but because I can make a difference. If I wanted to make money, I’d be charging more! My prices are low because I want to make a difference to online Tory activities.
I can provide Conservative MPs, candidates and activists with an effective website presence and advice on setting up an online presence – without costing the earth.
I have a number of free WordPress themes that can be provided to an individual or their team completely for free to set up on their own – or I can set up the website and provide hosting myself.
I can also create a customised theme for a specific individual or campaign based on your specific requirements and tailored to your needs.
