TORONTO – Ontario’s New Democrats launch a new party website today which was built with the help of an American company.
Los Angeles-based software developer NationBuilder created the interactive site which now forms the centre of the NDP’s new digital platform.
The website is integrated with the party’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts and also acts as a database that will help the NDP track supporters, donors and volunteers.
