Last time, I visited both Virg Bernero and Carol Wood’s web sites.  That same day, my post got twittered by either Virg or his staff, and I was amazed.  My comments weren’t wholly positive toward him, but they were certainly harsh on his rival.  So, after a little bit of searching, I found a third candidate’s web page.  Charles Ford seems to be running a serious campaign, and is trying to use the bickering between the two “primary” candidates as an opportunity to showcase himself.  Bravo.

At first glance, I was definitely pleased with Mr. Ford’s site.  The first thing that struck me was that this is a politician’s site, through and through.  It’s got some nice, minimal animation that doesn’t distract from the site.  It enhances it, instead of overwhelming it.  Everything’s clean, thought out, and crisp.  Not easy to do when you’re dealing with the wide berth of info that comes with wanting to be mayor.  He’s even got some YouTube videos embedded there, to show that he’s not out of touch with technology and the intarwebs.

I have only one problem with the page… up until a few days ago, there had been no updates since February, when it went up.  I’m glad that the last couple of days have spurred some updates, but we were left out in the cold a bit during the interim.

I’m not going back to Ms. Wood’s page.  I would like to keep my retinas, thank you very much.

After suffering a mini-Ford attack, I’m back, and I’m voting in the primary today.  It’s open until 8 PM, AFAIK.  Go out there, vote, and write in silly names (mine?) if you can! :)
