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/
