Just a quick note but I can’t resist blogging about this.
I met with one of the councillors we are doing a website for today and I love it that he is so excited.
We are setting up a sandbox version to play around with the design, colours and contect soon and he has a million and one ideas.
It’s bliss when you are working with someone who is more excited about the project than you.
local election

It’s no secret that I have a Public Affairs background and I am a bit weird when it comes to political communications (yes, I’ll put my hand up I do watch BBC Parliament).
That’s why I am ecstatic today. SoMaFusion just got a new project with three candidates in the UK local elections.
At the moment there’s not a lot I can share with you (seriously, there are Electoral Commission rules we are researching at the moment) but I really think that it really is worthwhile doing something related to local politics. Not that we would shun national *obviously* but local tends to be a lot more focused and a lot more personal, in a sense they have the ability to put you back in touch with what politics is all about if you get my drift.
I will update as the project progresses, for now we are in research and planning mode for requirements.
Just in case you are not familiar with the British way of doing things DirectGov has got a really clear entry on Local Councillors.
