Hi Jennifer. My name is Stephanie. I will get right to the point. I need a progressive website made for a fb group, political activism group. I like u. You have a strong personality. Ive never consulted for a website before. So please, how much? Thank you.
Stephanie,
Whatever was your campaign for a 2020 primary or the 2020 General Election, I hope you found the website help you needed and did well without my help.
My plan has always been to provide a free, working, beta-state progressive website to any proven real progressive person or organization that asks for one. However at this late date I very much apologize for postponing providing a reply to you until Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’ inauguration day Jan. 20, 2021. I foremost needed to know Trump was impeached again, would likely be convicted in the 2021 Senate, and was finally ‘forever’ gone from the White House.
What in April-May 2020, and with Trump and the GOP making mask wearing a political issue, I anticipated there soon would be a faster worsening spread of the novel coronavirus — and rising death counts from COVID-19 diseases — was one excuse. I did not imagine 400K deaths in the USA by January 2021. But another excuse was my not having made time from my almost-daily 2020 3/4 time work on related progressive web sites’ development projects to make available on my SevaWebSites.org domain a beta site you could have used in 2020. Nor did I have the time to make available online the last best beta-site of a state or county or city campaign site for you or your website administration people to download, install, and start using on your own rented web hosting service.
But a third reason was that throughout all of 2020 I had not finished or fully thought through and designed “web forms” for this web site with which you and other progressives could have told me more about what sort of web site you and they needed and in general, in lay person’s terms, what sorts of site content and services you all needed on would become your customized progressive websites.
I hope to have those missing website “work request” forms well-built and enabled in 2021 in time for progressive candidates to use them in the 2021 off-year elections. And I plan to have sample congressional campaign websites as well as sample state-wide, county-wide and city-wide progressive party and/or candidate’s beta prototype websites available as well to give parties and candidates more choices and to allow me to more quickly provide more useful web sites for those progressive organizations and candidates who request them.
