The old site was causing headaches not only for the internal team but for users as well. Similar to the other Masonic Charities sites, a clean design and usability were the focus, with [WordPress](http://www.wordpress.com) being used as the CMS. When it came to the design and content, the big opportunity lied in highlighting the beautiful campus, compassionate care and extensive service offerings - all important when choosing an older adult care community.  One notable feature is that each page includes a text size adjuster to increase the site's accessibility.  Check out some of the site features below or [check out the site](http://www.mnmasonichomes.org/) itself. We also rebuilt the primary Masonic Charities site using WordPress and also did a ground up redesign of the [Masonic Heritage Center](http://www.masonicheritagecenter.org/) website as well - all distinct nonprofits under the Masonic Charities umbrella. ![masonic-home.png](https://320867.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/320867/hubfs/images_blog/masonic-home.png?width=784&height=498&name=masonic-home.png "masonic-home.png")   ![Screen_Shot_2016-01-20_at_9.15.28_PM.png](https://320867.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/320867/hubfs/images_blog/Screen_Shot_2016-01-20_at_9.15.28_PM.png?width=784&height=502&name=Screen_Shot_2016-01-20_at_9.15.28_PM.png "Screen_Shot_2016-01-20_at_9.15.28_PM.png") Want to learn more about our custom WordPress design and development process?
