Most political agencies charge five figures for a website you could build in a weekend. We charge what the work is worth, ship what we promise, and disappear into the background — exactly where good operators belong.

The Colorado
Candidate Field Manual.

Everything nobody tells a first-time candidate, in one book. The decision to run, committee formation, which filing officer is yours, contribution limits, the reporting calendar, disclaimer rules, and the first 90 days. Every figure cited to statute, so you can check us.

One hundred pages plus twelve fillable templates. Read it in a weekend, and stop guessing at rules that carry fines.

// WHAT IT ANSWERS
  • Do I file with the state, the county, or the town?
  • How much can one person legally give me?
  • When is my next report due, and what happens if it is late?
  • What disclaimer goes on a yard sign, a mailer, a website?
  • Petition or assembly, and what does each one cost me?
  • What do I actually do in the first 90 days?

Built for parties.
Free advertising for your candidates.

County and state parties are the connective tissue of every cycle. The Allied Program rebuilds your party's web infrastructure for the way you actually operate — year-round, multi-cycle, with referral economics that benefit your candidates and the network you've built.

Every Allied party gets Network Sync — push a directive once, and every connected county and endorsed candidate site updates instantly. Local override available. State lock available. One message across the entire organization.

What we deploy.

Everything a modern campaign needs to be taken seriously online — built for speed, hardened for traffic spikes, and tuned for the only metric that matters: action.

01

Campaign Websites

Mobile-first builds with donation, volunteer signup, event pages, and press kits. Production-ready in two weeks.

02

Donation Integration

WinRed, Anedot, or Stripe — wired correctly, tracked correctly, with conversion-tuned forms that don't leak donors.

03

Compliance & Disclaimers

FEC and state-level disclaimer language baked in correctly the first time. Privacy policies that won't get you sued.

04

Email Capture & CRM

Lists that actually grow. i360, Numinar, Campaign Solutions, HubSpot — connected so your field team can do real work.

05

Map-Driven Field Tools

Event finders, district lookups, and door-knock signup flows tied to your geographic footprint.

06

Press & Media Kits

Downloadable bios, photo packs, fact sheets, and policy briefs — formatted so reporters use them verbatim.

07

Hosting & Defense

DDoS-resilient hosting, SSL, daily backups, and uptime monitoring through November and beyond.

08

Analytics That Matter

Privacy-respecting analytics that report on conversions, not vanity. You'll know what's working by Tuesday.

Full Capability Brief →

A website is
half the operation.

Colorado mails every ballot 22 days out, and from that morning the county publishes who has voted and who has not, refreshed all day long. Most down ballot campaigns never work that file. We do precinct analysis, walk universes, and mail ballot chase at a posted hourly rate, operating inside data access your committee holds in its own name.

Recon
$1,200
Terrain report, precinct history, vote goal math, universe counts.
Turf
$2,800
Recon plus walk universes, turf cuts, canvasser ready maps.
Ballot Chase
$3,500
The full 22 day window, returns pulled twice daily, list rebuilt each pull.
Cure Recovery
$800
Eight days after the election, your own supporters' ballots are still recoverable.

› All packages are blocks of hours at a posted $100/hr. Five ballot chase clients per cycle, maximum. One campaign per race.

Select your tier.

Three configurations. Flat pricing. No discovery calls before you see a number. Pick the build that fits the race; we'll execute it.

// INCLUDED WITH EVERY TIER
The Colorado Candidate Field Manual, free with any build
One hundred pages and twelve fillable templates on committee formation, filing officers, contribution limits, reporting calendars, and disclaimers, every figure cited to statute. Sold on its own for $149. Yours at no charge with Tactical, Operational, or Strategic, and if you already bought it, the full $149 comes off your invoice.

Sitemap, page structure, copy framework, design direction. You approve in writing before we build.

~48 hours
PHASE_03

PHASE_04

Launch & Hold

DNS cutover, monitoring active, your team trained. We stay on standby through Election Day.

Full Protocol Spec →

No founder photos. No team page. No bio.

Project DarkPoe operates intentionally without a public face. Political web work attracts attention from people who don't have your candidate's interests at heart — opposition researchers, hostile actors, journalists looking for an angle. The less surface area we present, the safer your campaign infrastructure.

What you can verify: a properly formed LLC, a portfolio of completed builds, references from prior clients (released under NDA), and the quality of the work itself. That's the full pitch.
