Harris for President

I was a Web Associate on the Harris for President Campaign (formerly Biden for President). My main role for the campaign was to develop new web pages, forms, email templates, and more. Below are some examples of projects from the campaign that I worked on and a link to view a version of the full site I worked on. 

General Site Updates

Throughout the campaign there were many general site updates I worked on. An example of this is the donation banner shown on the right. The top version was an older banner we used and the bottom version is a newer banner. After testing it was concluded the newer version raised more money for the campaign. This is just one example of a minor site update that I made on KamalaHarris.com.

Some other updates I did throughout the campaign were updating lightbox popups, changing the location the sticky banner on the bottom of the site appears, adding an alert bar to the top of the site, adding a dropdown menu in the nav, and much more.

Contrast Page

I developed a contrast page for the paid media team that displayed differences in the two campaigns. This is one of my favorite projects from the campaign!

Fortnite Landing Page

The campaign had a custom Fortnite map made that showed off our candidates! I was responsible for solely developing this page. It featured information on how to play the map and how to vote.

Flipping JoeBiden.com in 24 Hours

Within 24 hours of Joe Biden dropping out and Kamala Harris taking his place in the Presidential Election the Web Director and I completely flipped JoeBiden.com into the very first version of KamalaHarris.com. This process started late on a Sunday night and continued into the next day.

Election Loss Site Overhaul

Prior to election day, I was responsible for solely developing new versions of the site for each possible outcome: win, loss, and too close to call. The only one that ever went live was the loss page of course. 

Project 2025 Landing Page

I played a role in developing a landing page for the site that listed information on what Project 2025 was. This page was heavily pushed in ads to try and inform anyone who didn’t know.

Philly Rally Landing Page

This landing page was made to target Philadelphia voters. It also has a form included in it to try and capture voter’s information and help them get updates. This was another project I solely developed.

Countdown Lightbox

This countdown lightbox was solely developed by me and it became one of our most used lightboxes down the strech. We found when we counted down to events it improved our fundraising numbers greatly.

These were just some of my favorite projects from the campaign. The live site has now been redone since Kamala Harris left office, making it hard to track down every project I worked on for the campaign. Some honorable mentions I worked on that aren’t included here are developing a Spanish version of the site and reworking the campaign’s official shop site.
