The Memo

My web site strategic memo is finally complete. I enjoyed writing the memo but I must admit it was harder then expected. Fitting all my ideas and everything I learned from this semester into five pages is near impossible. I learned that my candidates web site was not functional to the terms set out by this class. I hope that the candidate realizes his web site must be revamped before the Primary Election.

Basic functions are necessary to have a successful web site, such as secure financial contribution forms. These and other forms were missing in my candidates web site and it astonishes me that more care was not put into the development of such an important campaign tool. My only guess is that the campaign did not want to spend or did not have the funds to develop a proper web site.

Regardless, I learned a lot this semester but nothing more important then knowing that true realities and functions of new media, such as a well developed campaign web site.
