It has been a while since I have posted the website.
I think that since our site is geared for the non-mason off the bat we have been experiencing HUGE numbers of people wanting to know more about how to join masonry. We have been seeing about 5 - 10 people a week the past 3 weeks and these numbers have actually been pretty steady. Since the launch of the new design the website has paid for itself easily. Now out of these 5 - 10 people asking to join some join a closer lodge, some just find out it is not for them, and some turn in the petition. We are looking at reading over 7 petitions of well qualifiyed guys. Basically you don't get a petition if it is not for you. You sure as heck don't get signatures. We are working on another design for a historical aspect but that is still in the infant stages. We are also working on a past master section and in the next day or two a link for members to notify the secretary of information change (address, phone, etc.). Another thing we will probably have in the members area is paypal for degree fees, dues, and endowment funds. Again that is just on the drawing board.
I hope by posting our success storty it may intice some Lodges to spend a little and design a premium site. There have been several instances where people have joined because the Lodge closest to them either does not have a website or it is lacking.
