The consultants are almost more interesting if you know the industry though. It looks like all the candidates built their sites internally, except for Rubio who is using Push Digital. Will be interesting to see which strategy works better.

#32I think it's a stretch to assume that the way a presidential candidate's campaign webmaster chooses to configure a website will be any indication of how the candidate would lead the executive branch of government. It's probably better to look at the candidate's previous leadership performance and his or her positions (as indicated by voting records, not campaign rhetoric) on policy issues.
I didn't read the author's suggestion as serious.

#33Have you thought about adding fields for design/consulting firm and CRM? Looks like Hillary is on Salesforce and Cruz is using (and probably overpaying) for Marketo.

#353 out of 4 candidate website do not support winxp. Wonder if this finally means that winxp compatibility is no longer worth the extra trouble from a business perspective.
What do you mean by "support winxp"? Websites are pretty OS agnostic. Do you mean they aren't compatible with IE6? Can't really test it currently, but I can't imagine these sites would work in the latest Firefox on Win8, but not on the latest Firefox on XP.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
Who cares, their budget is in the millions. Better to spend the extra couple hundred bucks, and have it. They will most certainly need it (ex. donate.hillaryclinton.com, debates.hillaryclinton.com, vote.hillaryclinton.com).
The pervasive mindset is that mailings, tv/radio ad spots, and other traditional media platforms have a known and predictable return on investment. Using the web for organizing and fundraising is the new kid on the block. Despite the impressive showing in 2008 and 2012 on the Obama campaign its not a known/repeatable representative showing. Every dollar spent on your web presence needs to return 5$ or more to funnel…

#39All but Marco Rubio have wildcard certificates without an apparent use for them. It looks like whoever built their websites was keen on using all the budget they were alloted.

#403 out of 4 candidate website do not support winxp. Wonder if this finally means that winxp compatibility is no longer worth the extra trouble from a business perspective.
The footnote is also suggestive that this is the correct interpretation.
