#wethepeople · Campaign in a Box

Your race deserves a website built for the fight you're actually in.

A research-backed campaign website for first-time Democratic and independent challengers running in red states. Built on real district data and your own words — captured from a personalized Q&A, not a recycled template.

$1,000 total in three milestones. You set the pace between them.

If you're running for the first time

You're up against $50,000 agencies with a $5,000 budget.

You're knocking doors, raising money on Venmo, recruiting volunteers, and in your spare time trying to make your campaign website not look like every other Wix template in the state. Meanwhile your opponent has a paid consultant, a six-figure war chest, and an existing donor list.

You don't need a Cadillac. You need something credible, specific to your district, and built fast — so you can get back to the part only you can do: talking to voters.

Most templates ignore your district

Generic "fighting for working families" copy doesn't tell voters what's actually broken in their county.

Discovery calls eat your week

You don't have time for ten hour-long calls before you see a draft. You have doors to knock.

CashApp doesn't inspire donors

Out-of-state donors won't give to a campaign that looks unprofessional. ActBlue is the standard.

Agencies cost more than your race raised

$15K – $50K websites are out of reach. So is a website that converts.

What's in the box

Everything a first-time challenger actually needs.

Every Campaign in a Box starts with district-specific research, captures your real voice through a research-informed Q&A, and delivers a custom site — not a template with your name swapped in.

1

District research brief

Demographics, cost of living, voting record analysis of the incumbent, donor and PAC breakdowns, local issues. All sourced.

2

Race-specific Q&A

Custom interview questions built from the research. You answer them on your own time — written or voice memo. Your answers become the copy on your site.

3

Custom website in your voice

Mobile-first, fast, and accessible. Every section — hero, story, issues, accountability, take action — written from your actual Q&A answers. Your voice, not a copywriter's.

4

ActBlue donate integration

Replaces CashApp or Venmo. Built-in fraud protection, FEC compliance, and recurring donations.

5

Volunteer + email signup

Real signup flows you can actually use to organize. No "contact us" black holes.

6

Unlimited revisions for 3 business days

You review the draft and send as many rounds of notes as you need. I wrap everything inside the 3-day window. Then it's yours.

How it works

Four steps. No phone tag.

This is built to be hands-off so you can keep running your campaign instead of project-managing your website.

Start with $250

Stripe collects your non-refundable deposit. Within 24–48 hours, your district research, race-specific Q&A, and a "gather this" checklist (domain, photos, etc.) land in your inbox.

Prep on your schedule

Take whatever time you need. Voice-memo your Q&A answers — ramble, speak from the heart, no editing required. Those answers become the copy on your website. Pick your domain, pull together photos, the next move is yours when you're ready.

Book your week — $500

When you have everything ready, pay $500 and lock a build week on my calendar. I take one client per week. That week, the site gets built — you have my full attention.

Launch — final $250

Site delivered, revisions wrapped in 3 business days, deployed to your domain. Optional 30-minute handoff call on the final day. Final payment, and it's yours.

Real campaign, real launch

Letisha Hinds is a first-time Democratic challenger running for Arkansas State House in District 16. Her Campaign in a Box went live with a research-driven Issues section, an accountability page tracking the incumbent's voting record, and ActBlue integration replacing the CashApp link her primary opponent used.

Lead with the candidate's story. Anchor every issue in real district data. Give voters something specific to grip onto. That's the whole formula.

Why this exists

I'm not a campaign consultant.

Rogers, Arkansas · #NoKings NWA

My name is Jamie Stephens.

By day, I've spent years inside supply chain, CPG, retail data, and operations — the very unsexy world of making complicated systems actually work.

On time. On budget. At scale.

I've worked behind brands you've bought groceries from, learned how complex systems break, and built a career translating chaos into something usable.

Then AI got real.

And I started layering it onto the skills I already had: systems thinking, data analysis, web development, automation, and the ability to take a messy problem and build a practical path through it.

That eventually became Ginger Alchemy, where I teach small business owners how to use AI to solve real problems — not chase hype, not collect tools, not pretend the future is coming later.

It's already here.

But I'm also a mom.

I live in Rogers, Arkansas. I have four daughters. And I'm watching them grow up in a state that ranks dead last or near-last in maternal mortality, infant mortality, teen birth rates, and child well-being.

I'm watching my own girls talk about leaving Arkansas because they're terrified of what getting pregnant here could mean for them.

That is not political theory to me.

That is my kitchen table. That is my family. That is the future my daughters are already trying to plan around.

So I decided to use the skills I actually have — supply chain, systems, AI, data, web, and plain old problem-solving — to build something useful for the people stepping up to run.

That's why Campaign in a Box exists.

Because every first-time Democratic or independent challenger in a red state deserves a real campaign website. Not a slapped-together Wix template. Not a $30,000 agency invoice. Not something that makes them look like they're playing pretend.

A real, research-backed, custom campaign site they can be proud of — built with strategy, speed, and respect for the reality of running a grassroots campaign.

Because good people like you are stepping up.

And you deserve better support.

A nod to every everyday American picking up whatever skills they have — supply chain, software, organizing, teaching, accounting, anything — and using them to take action for our country. Waiting for someone else to fix this isn't a plan.

Honest fit check

Is this for you?

Yes, if you're…

  • A first-time Democratic or independent challenger
  • Running for state house, state senate, or local office in a red state
  • Running on a real grassroots budget (under $50K raised)
  • Comfortable answering written or voice-memo questions on your own time
  • Tired of your current site looking like every other campaign template

Probably not, if you're…

  • An incumbent with an existing site you mostly like
  • Running a federal campaign with a six-figure communications budget
  • Looking for ongoing campaign management, not just a website
  • Expecting a discovery call, kickoff workshop, and weekly status meetings

  • Not yet decided you're actually running
Questions worth asking

FAQ

How fast does this actually move — and what do you need from me?

The build itself is one dedicated week. When that week happens is up to you. After your $250 deposit, you receive your research, Q&A, and gather-this checklist within 24–48 hours. From there, take whatever time you need to pick a domain, gather photos, and send your voice-memo answers. When you're ready, you pay $500 and book a build week on my calendar — I take one client per week, so available slots fill on a first-come basis. During that week, the site is built. Revisions wrap in 3 business days. Launch.

The boundaries that make that work: I have a full-time job, so I run this during evenings and weekends, Central time. Email is the channel — replies within 1 business day. No discovery calls, no kickoffs, no weekly status meetings, no late-night emergencies. The build week is when work happens — outside that week, I'm focused on the candidate whose week it is. Tight election deadlines are welcome — flag it at the deposit step and I'll help you grab the soonest available slot.

What if I don't have a domain or hosting yet?

Easy. Secure a domain through any reliable registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy — whatever) and create a free Vercel account for hosting. Both take about ten minutes. Everything deploys under your accounts, in your name, so the site is yours from day one.

Why no discovery call?

Because you're running a campaign and you don't have time for one. The intake form and Q&A capture everything I'd ask on a call — and they capture it in your written voice, which is exactly what the website needs to sound like. If something genuinely requires a call to unblock, we'll do a 15-minute one. But the default is async.

Will this work if I'm running in a state that isn't Arkansas?

Yes. The research approach is national — district demographics, voting records, donor data, and local cost of living are all publicly accessible in every state. Arkansas is just where I live and where the prototype was built.

What if I hate the draft?

You have a 3-business-day window to send unlimited rounds of revisions. Most candidates use it for tone tweaks, copy adjustments, and a few photo or layout swaps. If something feels fundamentally off, that almost always traces back to rushed Q&A answers — we'll talk it through and find the fix inside the same window. I'm not interested in shipping a site you don't believe in.

Do you do ongoing updates after launch?

Not by default — and that's intentional. The optional 30-minute handoff call at the end of your build week is structured as a hands-on training. I walk you (or your campaign manager, or your most tech-comfortable volunteer) through how to update copy, swap photos, add events, and push changes live. By the end, you don't need me to make most updates yourself. For larger work later — adding a blog, a new section, integrations — email me and I'll quote it project by project. No retainers, no monthly fees you forget you're paying for.

Is the deposit refundable?

This is built around mutual commitment, not refunds. The $250 deposit is non-refundable — it pays for the research, Q&A, and checklist that get delivered within 24–48 hours, regardless of whether you ever book a build week. If you decide not to schedule, the materials are still yours. Once you do book and pay $500, that week is reserved for you alone — I'm turning down other candidates for that slot, so it's also non-refundable. The final $250 is only paid after you've reviewed and approved the launched site. Special circumstances exist (true emergencies, illness, dropouts from the race) — email me and we'll figure it out person to person.

What if I never book my build week?

No pressure from me. Your research, Q&A, and checklist are yours forever — that's what the $250 paid for. If you decide later that you want to come back, you book a slot and pay $500 like everyone else. No urgency-marketing emails, no "limited time" reactivation fees, no penalty for taking your time. Real life happens.

Who owns the site?

You do. Code, copy, design, all of it. It's deployed to your domain, on your hosting account, with your ActBlue link. If we part ways, you take everything with you.

Ready to give your race a website it deserves?
