Why a Facebook Page Is Not Enough for a Political Campaign
Social media can help a campaign reach people. It is still useful to have a campaign-owned website where the full story and important links stay organized.
Social platforms are rented space
A campaign page depends on another company’s rules, layout, account access, and feed. A website gives the campaign a stable place to publish biography, issues, events, voting details, forms, and donation links.
Use each channel for its job
Social platforms are good for timely updates, conversation, and sharing. A website is better for durable information. Link from a post to a page that can hold the complete answer instead of asking supporters to search through an old feed.
What a website adds
A website gives the campaign a clear home, predictable navigation, space for complete information, direct paths to forms, and more control over accessibility, page titles, search structure, and privacy notices.
A practical setup
Keep the website focused. Use social channels to bring people in, then send them to a page with a clear next step. Review the key links regularly, especially before events and voting deadlines.
