Quick word of caution when you are doing a website for any political candidate in the UK.
There are rules which are there for a reason.
Rules about publicity materials – also covering websites – can get your client in trouble if not followed. And when it comes to politics we are talking about serious trouble.
Speaking from experience I would always suggest that your first port of call is your candidate’s local Party people – they hold the ‘books’ as it where and I’ve always found them helpful.
Alternatively the three main parties at least have really good comms and campaigning departments who will help out.
