We think that “Obama” won the campaign “quite early on”

By designing such an elegant website for his supporters..

“…it is clear which one is of a higher quality of web and graphic design standards”

who’s standards?
i mean, obama’s does look better
but don’t pretend that’s a fact
or that it was measured against anything other than
that little checklist you made up.

Obama’s site looks much more creative & trendy inline with todays personal websites.

McCain’s site looks like an e-commerce site, and I’m not buying it.

All very good points, and I can really feel sorry for McCain, it's like they got am amateur 15 year old to design the site so they could save on costs. Regarding downloadable logos etc. on Barack Obama's website, could you please link me to it, because I can't find the page. Eli's last blog post..Illustrator Tutorial: Designing a Sleek Pencil Icon

Hi Andrea,

Have you been able to see the development in Obama’s site design over the duration of his campaign? It has changed significantly (for the better) as time goes by. Thanks for your comment

Jin,

Thanks, left a comment on your post. Thanks

Briana,

Great name by the way! I agree with you…I was just on there the other day trying to find information on his stance on abortion and couldn’t find it anywhere. I was then looking for a search box. That is definitely something missing.

Evan,

It really does…but more so for the way it is coded in my opinion. I just can’t believe such a highly visited site would be coded in tables. That just shows low quality web design in my opinion.

Even though I would like McCain to be president I have to admit Obama’s website makes McCain’s site look like trash.

The one thing that Obama’s website really lacks is a search box. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to look for something I previously read on his site and I can’t find it again. Otherwise, I like it better too.

Great info. I just wrote an article on Obama’s site review, from the POV of a web designer:

I’m also working on the Mccain’s site review. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
