Build a local campaign page

Updated 2026-09-11

Local campaign content plan

A resident needs current information and a way to ask a question. This guide creates a page that makes the next action clear.

Before you start

Sign in to ShortFreeURL and open Pages in the dashboard. A standalone page does not require a short domain or a paid link-shortening plan. Prepare the real destinations for Read proposals, Attend a meeting, Volunteer, Contact organisers. Example template links are placeholders and must be replaced.

Set up the content

  1. Choose the local campaign template or Create page. Enter a title visitors will recognise.
  2. Put “Read proposals” first. Give the destination a label that describes the action rather than “Click here”.
  3. Add “Attend a meeting”, “Volunteer” and “Contact organisers”. Use the up/down controls to change their order.
  4. Use a text block for essential context, a heading to separate topics, and a contact block for a valid email or telephone link.
  5. Choose a layout and colours with readable contrast. Save draft, check the preview, and publish when the real destinations are ready.

Expected result

The published page has a stable /p/ address and clearly named actions. Open page takes you to the visitor-facing version. Share this address through public meeting handout; customers do not need a ShortFreeURL account to view a published page.

If something is wrong

A draft is intentionally unavailable to the public. Publish the page to make it accessible. Invalid destination schemes are rejected; use a complete http/https address, mailto email link or tel telephone link. Save errors should be resolved before closing the editor.

Do not misrepresent clicks as voter support. If you want to try another layout, duplicate the page and keep the copy as a draft until it is ready.
