Process

Know what is being built, who is responsible, and what happens next.

A useful process prevents confusion before it becomes expensive.

Project review

Review the campaign, deadline, current materials, and the specific result the project needs to produce.

Scope and proposal

Confirm deliverables, responsibilities, revision limits, timing, payment terms, and anything outside the project.

Content and direction

Gather the approved text, links, logos, photographs, disclaimers, and campaign information required to begin.

Design and build

Create the website or campaign materials using the direction and content established for the project.

Review and revisions

Check the work, consolidate feedback, and complete revisions within the agreed project scope.

Approval and delivery

Publish the approved website or deliver the approved final files in the agreed format.

Prepare efficiently

What helps a project move faster.

Not every item must be complete before the first conversation, but identifying what exists prevents avoidable delays.

  • Office being sought and election date
  • Candidate biography and priorities
  • Current logo, colors, photographs, and website
  • Donation, volunteer, and social links
  • Required disclaimers or committee information
  • One person authorized to approve the work
Avoid delays

Simple rules for a cleaner review process.

Use one feedback list

Consolidated feedback prevents conflicting requests and repeated revision cycles.

Confirm facts before approval

Names, dates, disclaimers, links, and political claims should be checked before final delivery.

Approve before publishing

Final approval should be explicit so the campaign knows exactly what will go live or be sent to print.

Common questions

Before starting a project

Does every project require several services?

No. A project can focus on one immediate need or coordinate several services when that produces a better result.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on scope, available content, timeline, revision requirements, and outside costs. The proposal should state the price before work begins.

What happens when the scope changes?

Work outside the approved scope should be identified and approved before it is added to the project.

Can ongoing support be added later?

Yes. Website management or continuing design support can be defined after the initial project is complete.

Ready to define the project?

Start with the office, deadline, current materials, and the outcome the campaign needs.
