McCain VS. Obama VS. Barr, Whose Website’s Hotter?
July 4th, 2008 | by valiik |First, happy 4th of July to all. Hope you are having, or had, a good one.
For the occasion I want to take a look at our presidential candidates’ website designs. Just to compare the design for fun. 
I went and looked at McCain’s (R), Obama’s (D) and Barr’s (L) websites, these seem to be the top 3 candidates at this time. I want to say right away that I am not representing any of the candidates and am not promoting any one of them here. This is simply a look at their website design.
Here is the first impressions, this is John McCain’s website:
And here’s Barack Obama’s:
And this one is Bob Barr’s:
Right away, Barack Obama’s website stands out, the design is beautiful. The first impression is obviously pleasant to look at. If you continue to the main page of Obama’s website you will see that the entire website is done with the same beautiful design and style. Airy, light blues and whites, hints of reds and greens here and there.
The graphics on his website are worth looking at too, here is a few I took screenshots of:
Like I said before, I am not promoting Barack Obama for President here, I am highlighting the skills and talents of the website designers that created his website.
I did some digging around and according to this article, the designed of the logo is SENDER and SimpleScott designed the website.
I really wanted to post some screen shots from McCain’s and Barr’s websites but, honestly, there was really nothing to show. Pretty disapointing.
Anyway, hope you anjoyed this post. I’d love some comments, guys and girls. I’ve been getting loads and loads of SPAM comments but very few real ones. I’d love to hear from the readers. Tell me something.

I was very surprised no one commented on this post! Maybe they were too busy with their fourth of July celebrations. Maybe they were afraid of touching anything with politician’s names in the title. Who knows. I had your article squirreled away in my ‘come back later’ file — I was doing a post on the psychology (etc.)of the color red in blog design. It struck me that these sites make a very heavy use of blue! The connotations include: male, strength, tranquility, confidence, dependability and idealism.
