Steve Woods

Steve Woods, Independent candidate for U.S. Senate, recently came to New Media Campaigns in need of an informative and interactive website to support his campaign.  This project had a pretty tight deadline since this candidate’s competitors were announcing their campaigns.  With this in mind, the NMC team immediately set out to create a dynamic site that would build support for the candidate.

In addition to serving the town government in several leadership roles, Woods is a former NBA and MLB player-agent and President and CEO of TideSmart Global.  In order to showcase Woods' many experiences and accomplishments, the site was designed with a media gallery on the homepage to give visitors a quick visual feel for the life of Steve Woods.  In addition to the gallery, NMC utilized Yahoo’s online mp3 player to play audio on the Media page  for the candidate’s speeches to give visitors further insight into Steve Woods, his ideals, and his goals.

The design of the site heavily focuses on the issues Steve Woods wanted to address.  Excerpts about three primary issues are displayed on the homepage with a link allowing viewers to learn further.  The Issues tab in the main menu organizes the candidate’s views into several sub pages.   The latest news and events feeds are featured in the side bar of every page to draw the attention of the site’s visitors to the most recent activity in the campaign. Calls to action on the homepage and throughout the site invite visitors to support the campaign by donating, volunteering, or signing up to receive campaign updates. 

New Media Campaigns enjoyed collaborating with the Steve Woods Campaign, whose quick and helpful feedback helped NMC design, code, and launch the site on the HiFi Content Management System in under two weeks.  This project is another great example of the many political sites NMC has designed and NMC is confident this site will contribute to a successful campaign.
