What's Included

Everything a trail org
actually needs

Built by trail advocates, for trail advocates. Every feature on this list is something Squarespace and Wix can't ship out of the box — because they were never built for trail organizations.

Interactive 3D Trail Map
Satellite-resolution terrain riders can rotate, tilt, and zoom on any device. Each trail color-coded by difficulty — tap for stats, photos, and live conditions. Built on Mapbox GL, the engine behind Strava and Trailforks.
Unique to TrailKit
Live Trailforks Status
Open/closed status syncs from Trailforks automatically. No more updating two systems when conditions change — your trail status is the same wherever riders look.
Weather & Soil Conditions
Optimal, Caution, or Avoid — calculated from live weather and recent rainfall. Helps riders pick dry trails and protects the work your volunteers put in.
Unique to TrailKit
Google Sheets Event Calendar
Your team adds a row to a spreadsheet. Trail days appear on the site within minutes.
Volunteer Engagement
Auto-syncing RSVP forms, plus a homepage volunteer spotlight, crew-leader photos on event cards, and a first-timer-friendly badge. Built around what makes volunteers come back.
Unique to TrailKit
Donate Page
Connect any donation processor — Givelify, Donorbox, Zeffy, PayPal, your own — by changing one URL. Switch processors anytime without redesigning the page.
POI Markers
Parking, restrooms, water, and trailheads as clickable markers on the 3D map. Riders find what they need on their phone — not in your inbox.
News & Updates
Trail updates, project announcements, storm closures — all published from the same Google Sheet that runs your events. No separate blog platform, no extra logins.
Enterprise-Grade Hosting
99.99% uptime SLA, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure, global edge CDN, real-user performance monitoring, and 24/7 incident response. Hosted on Netlify Pro — the same platform powering Smashing Magazine, Loom, and Postman.
How it works

Live in three steps

We handle the technical setup. You handle the content. Your riders get a website that looks like it was made for them — because it was.

1
Send Us Your Trail Data
Export GPX files from Trailforks, Garmin, or your local Forest Service contact. Fill in a simple spreadsheet with trail names and difficulty ratings.
2
We Build & Configure
We set up your map, configure all integrations - Google Sheets, Trailforks, weather, donations - and customize branding to match your org.
3
You Go Live
We connect your domain, run a final review call, and hand you the keys. You manage events from a spreadsheet. We handle everything else.

FAQ

Questions you're probably asking

No coding, no CMS, no admin login to remember. You manage events, news, sponsors, and volunteers from one Google Sheet — adding an event is the same as adding a row to a spreadsheet. If your team can use Google Drive, they can run a TrailKit site.
TrailKit is built by trail riders who got tired of seeing chapters limp along on broken Squarespace sites. There's no agency, no chatbot, no help desk between you and us. You email, we respond — usually within hours, by the same person, every time.
Your trail data (GPX files — two-click export from Trailforks, Strava, or Garmin), your logo and brand colors, 3–5 photos, and your donation/contact details. We handle everything else — trail rendering, page design, hosting setup, all of it.
Yes. We'll point your domain (yourorg.com, .org, whatever you have) to your TrailKit site with full SSL and zero downtime during the cutover. Don't have a domain yet? We'll register one for you as part of setup.
Most sites launch 3–5 business days after we receive your trail data and branding assets. Got an event coming up and need it sooner? We can fast-track to 48 hours — just tell us when we kick off.
We monitor all third-party integrations and usually notice within minutes when something changes. Updates happen on our end — you don't see them, you don't have to know about them. This is what "fully managed" actually means.
Plus tier customers submit feature requests we review every quarter — if it would help other trail orgs too, it usually ships within 60–90 days at no extra cost. For one-off custom work, we quote it directly. We'd rather build the right thing than charge you for the wrong one.
Annual plans run for the full year and never auto-renew without your explicit yes. Whenever you leave, we export everything — trail data (GPX + GeoJSON), all your content (events, news, sponsors, volunteers as CSVs), and any media we've added. You're never locked in. The hosted site goes offline at the end of your billing period.
