Campaign Websites for Ontario Candidates
You are running in an Ontario municipal race, your voters are already searching for you, and you have no time to build a website yourself. We build your campaign website for $999 plus GST, live in 5 business days or less.
Voters Are Already Googling Your Name
Nominations closed on August 21, most fields were certified by August 24, and offices that still had fewer candidates than seats moved into additional nominations from August 26, so the Ontario races on this page are decided by voters choosing a person rather than a party. Your campaign cannot accept a contribution or incur an expense until you have filed and opened the separate bank account the campaign must use, and a website is usually the first thing worth putting through it, because a neighbour, a local reporter, or an undecided voter can already search your name and find nothing, an old Facebook page, or your opponent’s latest release.
The real deadline is earlier than Monday, October 26, because advance voting and internet or telephone voting run well before voting day on dates your municipal clerk sets, so a large share of the people who decide your ward will already have cast their ballot before you would finish building a site yourself.
What Candidates Actually Worry About
Voters Check You Out Before They Choose You
A council race is won on name recognition. When voters, neighbours, and local journalists search for you, they need your bio, your platform, your news, and a way to help, in one place that looks like the serious campaign you are running.
All-Candidates Meetings, Not Website Builders
You should be at all-candidates meetings, debates, and doors, not fighting with a website builder, so send us your photos and your words and your campaign website will be live in 5 business days or less, counted from the moment we have your content.
Compliant From Day One
Only individuals resident in Ontario, plus you and your spouse, may contribute, so corporations, unions and groups like clubs and ratepayers' associations cannot, and your donations page states the $1,200 and $5,000 caps that the law makes you responsible for communicating.
What's Included in Every Campaign Website
Everything you need to be findable, credible, and funded between filing and the last door knock:
- Home page with your photo, your name, and the office you are seeking.
- Bio page that tells voters who you are.
- Platform page that lays out your priorities.
- News and updates section you can react through when the race gets contentious.
- Donations page that states the contribution limits and who may give.
- Volunteer and email signup forms.
- Contact page.
- Your own .ca domain registration.
- Mobile-first, hand-coded PHP build.
- Live in 5 business days or less from receiving your content.
- An authorized-by footer line built as a field for you to complete, using the exact wording your clerk requires.
Every campaign website on this page is the same defined build at the same published price of $999 plus GST, open to any buyer on the same terms, which is the right footing for Ontario because corporations and trade unions cannot contribute to your campaign at all, so paying us a published commercial price keeps your website clearly outside the contributions your campaign is permitted to accept.
Who We Build Campaign Websites For
We build campaign websites for people running for mayor, ward councillor, regional councillor, reeve or deputy reeve, and school board trustee across English public, English Catholic, French public and French Catholic boards, and because Ontario municipal elections have no registered parties, every one of those candidates files and reports on their own. Whatever the office, the build keeps the focus where voters want it, on your name, your record and your plan for the next four years.
Whether your race was settled at certification or is still open through the additional nominations that began on August 26, tell us what it looks like and we will be honest about what you need, even when the honest answer is less than everything on this page.
How It Works
Step 1: Share Your Materials
Send your photos, your bio, your platform points, and the wording you want in your footer. A short call covers the rest, and the five business day clock starts the moment we have your content.
Step 2: Design Around Your Race
Your campaign website design puts your name, your office, and your photo front and center, with pages for your bio, your platform, and your news shaped for the way voters actually browse, on phones, in two-minute windows between errands.
Step 3: Review and Launch
You review the build, we fix what you flag and test everything on phones, then your site goes live on its own .ca domain in 5 business days or less from content receipt.
Step 4: Stay Visible
Once you are live, your site keeps working. Point your ads, mailers, and yard signs at one address, and send us your news and platform changes so everything stays accurate through election day.
