.tv My 1st developed .tv: election.tv

[antonis12]

Everyone,

Sorry I have been quiet for some time-but have been swamped work-wise.

In any case, my first .tv, developed, is up and running.

www.election.tv

We are still in "beta" whatever that is supposed to mean but I hope by the 2008 election to have some traction.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Antonis

Congrats awesome site. Looking forward to seeing the finished product when you've made it even "beta".

Loved this one http://www.election.tv/Jim_Hansen/videos/Jim_Hansen_-_$1000_Plates_83/

Antonis,

Informative, easy to use, nice layout, really nice concept........all the ingrediants for a winning website. Development at its best.

Should get yourself alot more traffic over the next few years too.

Good luck with it.

Looks great! I can see this being big by 2008!

BTW, I tried to go to Loretta Nall's (Alabama Libertarian) site and it went here after a weird Google Maps API warning...

The US Marijuana Party??? :hehe: Is this right?

That is correct. There is a US Marijuana party and the API error is on their site. That is mildly ironic! :bingo:

Very nicely done!
I loved the map of the United States, that looked so awesome when hovering over the states seeing them tilted upwards like tectonic plates.

Nice video integration and overal look.

Project of your own?
Do you do webdesign projects only for yourself or for hire as well?

I have a domain that screams for development

Antonis,

Very nice site and I think you picked one of the best if not the best uses of that particular URL. Congrats.

If it is not too much trouble, can you share with us those steps you took in developing your site? For example, were you a developer that picked up the site or did you simply contribute the URL as part of a partnership with a developer/designer. I think many of us are curious about the ways other members are going about getting their sites developed by competent people.

I did not develop myself - I used outside developers! Thank you for asking though.

Antonis,

I am neither a developer nor am I part of a partnership. I sketched out the site by hand myself but then hired an off-shore developer to build the site. I have an "intern" type to call candidates, tape videos, etc.

The obvious downside of this approach is that it costs $.

What a great job Antonis best of luck with it, I will try to get if featured a few places. Is National.tv yours too?

Yes, national.tv is mine also, I have quite a few others as well that I would ultimately like to build out "below" national.tv, but, one thing at a time...

Everyone else: Thank you for the kind words. The challenge remains as with most .tv sites - how do you generate traffic in the short term - even a great name like this has limited type-in traffic, so, unless we build PR, SEO, partnerships, etc, we will just sit there (so please tell your friends/family! LOL).

This is the fundamental challenge and opportunity with .tv - you can get started less expensively (I can't imagine what election(s).com would cost) but then with the saved money from not buying the .com, you have to find a way to make the site viable and accepted...

 

[jettabosko]

wow!

tHATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT--WELL DONE.

 

[Noetic]

Tres bien! Clean, professional, intuitive interface, nice branding - kudos. I'm sure this, and all your other projects, will do well. You have a good eye, good sense of what works, and from what little I've read, good business acumen.

I'll pass the word on for you... viva la election.tv!
