An Excellent Democratic
Website
The
Arlington Democrats has an excellent
website on all the criteria I listed yesterday,
says Lowell Feld, Raising Kaine Blog. The front
page is non-techie, attractive, and very easy
to navigate.
It’s obviously
updated continuously, with news about upcoming
events on May 2, May 5, May 12 and June 16. The
news is updated, with 7 items for today (May 2)
alone (including three items from a
blog!). Candidate information appears to
be current. The top banner provides
“breaking news” of Howard Dean headlining the
Arlington JJ Dinner on June 7.
There are buttons that make it easy to
“get involved,” “support the cause,” and
contact elected officials. You can easily
find out where to vote, how to vote, and what
the votes were in recent elections. And, as if
all that’s not good enough, there’s a clear
sitemap if you get lost.
In other words,
this is an EXCELLENT local Democratic website,
easy to use, attractive, informative, and
clear. Obviously, the people who put this
together understood what they were doing, and
the results are very impressive.
In addition, I would note that this is
obviously a testament to the top-notch
leadership of ACDC chairman Peter Rousellot, a
man who totally “gets it” when it comes to the
importance of new media, online communication
(and communication in general), the growing
importance of the blogosphere, and the netroots
in general.
“Props to ACDC
Communications Director Antonia
Scatton and Webmaster David
Milstein for making that site the way it
is. They recently revamped the site, and it is
*great*. Anyway, kudos. The ACDC site is a
what-could-be scenario statewide.”
