Massachusetts Freemasons

Small Army hired me to work on the redesign of the Massachusetts Freemasons website—they provided the visual designs and I built the new site on WordPress.

Also: HTML5 Video, HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, Sass, WordPress.

Layout shortcodes let Massachusetts Freemasons’ editors assemble pages within WordPress’s visual editor. The site also connects to the existing lodge database for geolocated discovery, houses Trowel back issues and current news, and uses HTML5 video for embedded playback.

Also: Mission-Driven.

Mission-driven organizations place a defined social, charitable, educational, cultural, or public-interest purpose at the center of their activities. My work spans research funding, community development, cultural institutions, child protection, and civil rights advocacy.

Also: Web Design, UI/UX Design, Web Development.

I developed Small Army’s design into a responsive website that joins the institution’s archives, news, and events with a lodge-finding experience. The work focused on both the public interface and straightforward publishing controls, giving leadership practical ways to maintain the material visitors rely on.

Archives and local discovery

Connecting public information with lodge data.

The new Freemasons website empowers the lodge’s leadership to easily manage front facing content for the institution in WordPress’ Dashboard.

Through layout shortcodes, editors can easily put together pages all from within WordPress’ visual editor. We incorporated their Trowel back issues into the archives, and provided a space to post news and events to public facing visitors. The website also needed to integrate with the organization’s existing lodge database, so that we could provide geolocated results to visitors looking for lodges local to them.
