Case Study: Yes on 555 Kelly
Visit voteyeson555kelly.com
Half Moon Bay's Yes on 555 Kelly campaign needed a website to support a November ballot measure — Measure Q, ratifying a 40-unit affordable housing development for senior farmworkers. They had no site, no budget for a web agency, and no in-house technical staff. Just a handful of volunteers holding a scattered pile of source material: a filed ballot argument, two separately-written FAQ documents, a talking-points deck, architectural drawings, and photos — none of it organized, none of it web-ready.
New Worlds built the site from that material in about ten days, ahead of a hard, immovable election deadline.
How it worked
Every change went to a private draft link before it went live
Copy, layout, images — nothing reached the public site without an explicit stakeholder go-ahead, including one-line text fixes. Zero unreviewed content ever went live, for the entire project.
Accessibility was built in from day one, not bolted on at the end
Semantic structure, real alt text on every image, verified color contrast, visible focus states, and full keyboard navigation shipped with the first draft, not a last-minute pass.
Owned the whole stack
Domains, DNS, SSL, hosting, a private code repository, search engine indexing, and privacy-conscious analytics — so nothing depended on a single login or a single laptop.
Verified claims instead of trusting them
When a stakeholder's message pointed toward a second domain, it got checked independently before touching anything — catching that it actually pointed to an unrelated, broken site with no connection to the campaign, before that mistake could reach voters.
Result: the site launched ahead of the ballot deadline, met every stakeholder objective, and never had a single piece of unreviewed content reach the public page.
Why New Worlds
Delivered under a deadline that couldn't move
The first one was an election date. The same discipline applies whatever yours is.
Accessibility is standard, not an add-on
Every project ships with semantic structure, real alt text, and verified contrast and keyboard navigation from the first draft.
You'll never see something wrong on the live site
Every change goes to a private review link first — no exceptions, no matter how small the edit.
Owned the infrastructure, not just the design
Domains, DNS, hosting, and search visibility are handled end-to-end.
