Back-to-Back Victory: How Masonic Webmaster Helped the Aloha Shriners Win the 2025 Dromedary Award for Best Website
The Aloha Shriners have once again set the standard for excellence in fraternal marketing and communications. In 2025, Shriners International honored the Aloha Shriners with the Dromedary Award for Marketing & Communications Excellence – Best Website, marking a back-to-back win following their 2024 Dromedary Award recognition.
This consecutive achievement reflects not only consistency, but growth — and at the center of that success is the Aloha Shriners’ partnership with Masonic Webmaster.
“They needed a team that understood Freemasonry and Shriners from the inside —its values, its heritage, and the unique role temples (chapters) play in their communities.
What Are the Dromedary Awards?
The Shriners International Dromedary Awards recognize outstanding achievement in marketing and communications across temples worldwide. The Best Website category honors temples (chapters) that demonstrate excellence in:
Visual design and branding
Clarity of messaging
User experience and accessibility
Engagement with members, families, and the public
Effective communication of mission and philanthropy
Winning once is an honor. Winning two years in a row signals sustained excellence. This marks the Aloha Shriners’ fifth time receiving this award.
A Strategic Partnership That Delivers Results
Masonic Webmaster specializes in professional website design and digital communications for Masonic and appendant bodies. Our work goes beyond aesthetics — focusing on strategy, structure, usability, and storytelling.
For the Aloha Shriners, this meant transforming their website into a central communications hub that supports recruitment, member engagement, event promotion, and public awareness — all while clearly conveying the Shriners’ mission of fellowship and philanthropy.
What Makes the Aloha Shriners Website Award-Winning?
The 2025 Dromedary Award for Best Website recognizes several key strengths that set the Aloha Shriners’ website apart:
1. Clear, Purpose-Driven Design
From the moment visitors arrive, the website clearly communicates who the Aloha Shriners are and what they stand for. The design reflects both tradition and modern professionalism, striking a balance that resonates with long-time members and first-time visitors alike.
2. Intuitive Navigation for All Audiences
The site is designed with multiple audiences in mind — Nobles, families, prospective members, and the general public. Key information is easy to find, whether someone is looking for upcoming events, membership details, or learning about the Shriners’ charitable mission.
3. Strong Storytelling and Messaging
Rather than simply listing information, the website tells the story of the Aloha Shriners. Through thoughtful content structure and clear messaging, visitors gain a real sense of the temple’s culture, values, and impact in the community.
4. Mobile-Friendly and Accessible
With more users accessing websites from mobile devices, responsiveness is essential. The Aloha Shriners website performs seamlessly across phones, tablets, and desktops — ensuring a consistent experience for all visitors.
5. Support for Engagement and Growth
The website actively supports the temple’s goals by promoting events, encouraging participation, and providing clear pathways for prospective members to learn more and get involved. It’s not just informative — it’s actionable.
Why the Website Is Effective
What ultimately makes the Aloha Shriners website effective is that it works. It serves as a living, evolving platform that:
Enhances communication with members
Strengthens public perception of the organization
Supports recruitment and outreach efforts
Reflects the professionalism and pride of the temple
This effectiveness is the result of intentional design choices and ongoing collaboration between Aloha Shriners and Masonic Webmaster.
A Back-to-Back Achievement Worth Celebrating
Winning the 2025 Shriners International Dromedary Award for Best Website — following a 2024 Dromedary Award win — places the Aloha Shriners among the top-performing temples in marketing and communications across the international organization.
It also demonstrates what is possible when tradition meets innovation, and when fraternal organizations invest in professional digital tools to amplify their mission.
Congratulations to the Aloha Shriners on this outstanding back-to-back achievement, proving that excellence is not just a goal — but a standard.
