How it works

Four steps, start to live.

You talk, Claude builds, you publish. The whole thing fits in an afternoon, and you never touch code.

01

Answer a few questions

Claude asks about your race, your story, and your issues – like a friendly campaign manager taking notes.

02

Claude builds your site

It writes a clean one-page site in your colors, with your photo, your issues, and an email sign-up built in.

03

Publish it free

Drag one file into Cloudflare Pages. Your site goes live on the internet, at no cost, in a few minutes.

04

Change it anytime

Need to add an endorsement or move an event? Tell Claude what changed and re-publish. That's it.

What you'll have

Everything a local campaign needs. Nothing it doesn't.

One focused page that does the job: tells voters who you are, what you'll do, and how to get on your list.

One clear page

Your bio, your issues, when and how to vote – organized so a busy voter gets it in thirty seconds.

An email list from day one

A "Join our Team" sign-up captures supporter emails straight to you. Your list is yours.

Looks right on a phone

Most voters will see your site on their phone. It's built to look sharp there first.

Compliance built in

Your "Paid for by" disclaimer is part of the page from the start, with guidance on getting the wording right.

Free hosting, fast and secure

Published on Cloudflare's network with https included. No hosting bill, ever.

You own all of it

The site, the accounts, the email list – all in your name. Nothing is locked to a vendor.

What it costs

It's free.

Stump is a giveaway from the Center for Campaign Innovation. You'll set up a few free accounts along the way – the guide walks you through each one. Every tool below has a free tier that's plenty for a campaign site.

Who it's for

The races the big vendors ignore.

School board. City council. County commission. Township and special-district seats. If you're running close to home, on a volunteer budget, and you just need a credible site you can point voters to – this is built for you.
