Who I Help
Masonic Web Design serves the full spectrum of the Fraternity and its related organizations — from a single Blue Lodge to a multi-body coordinating council to a national Masonic charity.
Organizations We Serve
Every Masonic body has unique website needs. Here's how we approach each type.
Blue Lodges
Constituent lodges under a Grand Lodge jurisdiction. Most Blue Lodge websites need public-facing pages explaining Freemasonry, a clear petition inquiry path, an events calendar, and a dignified presentation that serves as the lodge's front door to the world.
Typical Needs
- What is Freemasonry page
- Petition inquiry form
- Events calendar
- Officer directory
- History page
York Rite Bodies
Royal Arch Chapters, Cryptic Councils, and Commanderies — individually or as unified York Rite bodies. York Rite sites often need to explain the degrees and orders, handle registrations for reunions and festivals, and serve multiple bodies from a single platform.
Typical Needs
- Unified or body-specific design
- Festival registration
- Degree/order explanations
- Combined calendar
Scottish Rite Valleys
Scottish Rite Valleys and their associated bodies. Valley websites serve a larger geographic area and often need event registration for reunions, showcase, and dinner theater productions, along with member communications and community outreach.
Typical Needs
- Reunion registration
- Production/showcase pages
- Valley history
- Member resources
Masonic Charities & Foundations
Masonic charitable foundations, scholarship funds, hospital programs, and community service organizations. Charity websites need donation integration, program descriptions, application workflows, and compelling impact storytelling.
Typical Needs
