After realizing that many lodges don’t have websites, or have websites that are barely kept up, I decided to create an easy way for Masonic Lodges to create and maintain their very own website. For free and with no ads.
Introducing…. FreeLodgeSite.com!
Right now, the site has the following features:
- Customized welcome page and lodge photo
- News page
- Full-featured calendar
- Current officer listings
- Past Masters listings with pitcures
- Photo Galleries
- Lodge links page
- Lodge Address info
- Lodge Meeting info
- Lodge Contact info
- Directions to lodge
Also, users can subscribe to lodges and get automatic updates when the lodge site is updated. Another feature allows the lodge site editor to send an email to every member of the lodge (that has subscribed) to keep them informed of any happenings.
There are alot more things I want to do with the site, but I hafta first see if it’s going to be used before I spend any more time on it. It’s pretty cool (I think), very web 2.0-ish and all that. If you put your lodge on the site, please drop a line and let me know how you like it.
The site is 100% free for any Regular Masonic Lodge and is not ad-supported.
