Representative Smith Upgrades Online Presence
James Smith understands the power of the Internet. He served in the House via proxy while on active duty in Afghanistan for nearly a year. His communications - voice, image, text - were through Internet-enabled devices. It's only natural that he should recognize the value of offering substantially upgraded to his constituents upon his return.
The James Smith website offers good design and multiple opportunities for interactivity on the front end, including posts from the James Smith blog. On the backend, the robust database allows James and his staff to manage contributions, volunteers and feedback through a single, easy-to-use interface.
Smith also uses web technology to reach out to his public via a secure email application. He delivers monthly newsletters that keep constituents and friends up-to-date on legislative and District activities and conveys event invitations online for efficient response and management.
Best of all, Smith is able to update the content of his website and make posts to his blog from any connected computer - including his Blackberry - anytime, anywhere. That's the future of good technology - improved communication with limited barriers. See the website at: http://www.jamessmith.com/
