Karsten 4 Mayor

Our Approach
Attract motivated people through dynamic design
To capture the essence of Karsten’s campaign, RivalMind enhanced his existing brand with a design that reflected patriotism and openness. The website featured a subdued red, white, and blue color scheme, inspired by his campaign logo, paired with light blue accents to create a clean and inviting aesthetic.
Imagery played a key role in shaping the website’s tone. Photographs provided by Karsten were thoughtfully placed to showcase his personality and relatability, helping voters connect with him as both a leader and a member of the community.
The design was further elevated with the use of the modern and geometric sans-serif typeface, Outfit. This typeface was chosen for its professional yet neutral appearance, aligning with the campaign’s goals of engagement and clarity.
The project’s most challenging aspect was integrating PayPal into the contact form, ensuring the site could facilitate seamless campaign donations. RivalMind successfully overcame this hurdle, delivering a functional and visually appealing platform that supported Karsten’s needs.
The Results
The website exceeded expectations, launching quickly and effectively to support the campaign’s critical timeline. Karsten was particularly pleased with the speed of execution and the collaborative effort of the RivalMind team. The website provided a strong foundation for connecting with voters and communicating his vision for Geneva.
