No long contract is required for the platform plans. If a Lodge needs to pause, it can be handled without drama.

What matters is continuity, and we help you protect that continuity.

It means the Lodge can see it working before committing. You can publish events, share the calendar, and see the site in action.

Most events draft quickly, and simple flyers often take less than a minute to turn into a usable draft.

The goal is not perfection by magic. The goal is speed plus a simple confirm step so mistakes do not publish.

Yes. Upload a flyer and the draft is created from it. If anything is missing, you are asked for the missing details.

Yes. You can speak the basics and the system will ask follow up questions until the event is complete enough to draft.

Most Lodge websites and email setups fail during officer change months.

• Passwords are lost
• Vendors send renewal emails to the wrong person
• Facebook is owned by a personal account
• The calendar depends on one Brother

It gives visitors and Brothers a stable Lodge number that does not belong to one person.

• Text for directions or questions
• Shared visibility for multiple officers
• Better continuity year to year

Because email is where vendors, candidates, and district communications land.

When email is stable, the Lodge stops losing important messages during transitions.

No. Plus is built specifically to avoid that.

The normal job is just posting events and occasional page updates. The structure and integrations are maintained for you.

At $39.95 per month, for a Lodge with 120 members:

• About $0.33 per member per month
• About $0.01 per member per day

• Hosting renewals and surprise increases
• Paid plugins for forms, events, tickets, spam, and backups
• Email mailbox add ons
• Time spent troubleshooting and updating
• The soft cost of confusion and missed attendance

Confusion reduces participation. Participation fuels fellowship and keeps new men showing up.

The easiest way to lose a good candidate is to make it hard to know when and where to be.

About 15 minutes for the basics. Longer only if you want deeper guidance on pages and workflows.

You reach out and we help. The system is built so most issues do not exist in the first place.

Yes. If you already have a domain, it can usually be pointed to the new site.

We can migrate the important parts, and replace the confusing parts with cleaner pages.

SoWhenItBe does not change Masonry. It removes confusion and makes it easier for men to show up.

Facebook is good for announcements. It is not a reliable schedule.

SoWhenItBe gives you a permanent place where the correct details live.

No. It replaces scattered systems and removes the need for multiple tools and logins.

The whole point is continuity.

The Lodge has stable access and a simple workflow that new officers can take over without a technical handoff.
