How much does a Masonic Lodge website cost?
Our Masonic Lodge websites start from £495.
That is for a professionally built WordPress website, not an empty template. We collect the information about your Lodge, create the structure, write the core website copy, build the pages and prepare the site for launch.
There is no compulsory monthly website subscription. If your Lodge wants to manage the finished site itself, it can. If you would rather pay us to look after it, professional management and other services are available separately.
Standard Masonic Lodge website — from £495
A typical Lodge build includes:
- WordPress website setup
- Mobile-friendly design
- Lodge branding and crest/logo integration
- Complete core page copy written from the information you supply
- Joining/membership enquiry content
- Meeting place and contact information
- News and event capability where required
- Lodge officer page where required
- Core on-page SEO setup
- Page titles and meta descriptions
- Launch assistance
Some Lodges need a straightforward site. Others have decades of historical material, multiple orders, complex event requirements or a Masonic Hall to promote. We confirm the price once we understand what is actually required.
Optional upgrades and ongoing services
Professional Lodge email
Use addresses such as secretary@yourlodge.org.uk or membership@yourlodge.org.uk, with better continuity when office holders change.
Professional Lodge email options
Managed website service
For Lodges that do not want to handle WordPress maintenance or routine content changes themselves. We can agree a level of management based on how much help you actually need.
Enhanced SEO
All websites receive sensible SEO foundations. Enhanced SEO is for Lodges or venues that want additional work around local search visibility, content, Search Console and ongoing optimisation.
Members area and advanced features
Private member content, directories, event/dining booking, calendar subscriptions, online payments and communications can be scoped where they solve a genuine Lodge problem.
Masonic venue websites
A Hall or centre that needs to generate wedding, meeting, party or room-hire enquiries requires a different website from a Lodge. We quote venue projects separately according to the facilities and marketing work involved.
What affects the final price?
The main variables are the amount of Lodge-specific material, the number of pages, migration from an existing site, special functionality, member-only facilities and whether the project also includes venue marketing, professional email or ongoing management.
We do not add features simply to increase a quote. If a standard Lodge website is all you need, that is what we will recommend.
What about WordPress.com costs?
Most of our Lodge sites use WordPress.com. WordPress.com charges separately for the hosting plan and, where applicable, the domain. Those charges go to WordPress.com rather than being hidden inside our website-build fee. We will tell you exactly what is required for the agreed build before launch.
Can our Lodge update the site itself?
Yes. That is one reason we use WordPress. We can keep the editable parts straightforward, and the Lodge can handle routine text, news or event changes if it wants to.
Can you just do everything for us?
Yes. Many Lodge officers have better things to do than maintain a website. Choose the managed option and we can take responsibility for the agreed technical and content work.
