Volunteer signups
A form that asks new volunteers what they would like to help with, and sends it to whoever runs your crews.
Your website, if you want one
A real website, without a web designer
For the trail club with no website, or one nobody can update any more. Pick a theme, drag in what you need, and run your events, news, fundraising and volunteers from one site that already knows your trails. It is optional: keep the site you have if it works. Included with the Pro plan, $49 a month.
The builder
Drag, drop, publish
Nobody on a volunteer board should need to know what a plugin is. You build pages from blocks, see the page change as you type, and press Save when it looks right.
Dozens of ready-made blocks
A hero with a photo, live trail conditions, a trail map, news, events, a gallery, sponsors, a donate box, a shop, a volunteer form, questions and answers. Add one, drag it where you want it, and type into it. Each block has its own colors and spacing when you want to change them, and good defaults when you do not.
- Desktop, tablet and phone Switch the preview to see the page the way a visitor on their phone at the trailhead will, before anyone else does.
- Undo, and nothing lost by accident Step back through your changes, and the builder asks before you leave with edits you have not saved.
- Search and share previews Set the title, description and share image for each page, so a link posted to a community group looks like yours.
- Your own domain Point your address at the site and it serves from there. The certificate is handled for you.
Themes
Three looks, one site
Choose a theme and your accent color, then change your mind whenever you like. You can preview your whole site in another theme first, while visitors keep seeing the one you have.
Fundraising
Raise the money the trails need
Every block that takes money sends it to your own account. You keep your donors, your payouts and your receipts where they already are.
Donations with a goal people can see
Set the amounts and say what each one pays for: gloves for a crew, a day of trail work, ten feet of bridge decking. Add a goal and an end date, and the bar fills as you raise it.
- One-time or monthly Let people choose, and choose which one the box opens on.
- Your PayPal or your Stripe The gift goes straight to your account. We never see a card.
A shop for your gear
Shirts, hats, bottles and stickers with photos, prices and sizes. With Stripe connected, visitors fill a cart and pay once, and each order lands in your Payments list with the size and the address. Or give a product a link to a checkout you already use.
- Sold out when it is Mark a product sold out and its button says so.
- No storefront to run It is a block on a page, edited like any other.
Events
Dig days, group rides and races
Events live on your site with their own pages, a calendar people can subscribe to, and a signup form that does the admin for you.
Free signups, or paid tickets
A work party takes signups with a waiver and a waitlist. A race or a fundraiser dinner sells tickets: set the ticket types and prices, visitors pay by card on Stripe's page, and each one gets a receipt with a QR code.
- Member prices Mark a ticket type for members, and ask for a member code before it can be bought if you want to.
- Scanned at the door Scan tickets with the TrailsIQ field app and each person is marked as there.
- Reminders and a waitlist People get a reminder before the day, and move up from the waitlist when somebody drops out.
Community
Keep your people and your sponsors close
The same site that tells people the trails are open is where they join, sign up to help and find out what is going on in town.
A local guide your sponsors will want to be in
A logo row thanks a sponsor. A guide to the coffee, bike shops, food and places to stay around town sends them customers. Visitors read it because it is useful, and a heart marks the businesses that help pay for the trails.
News and a newsletter
Post an update from where you manage the trails, and grow a list of people who want it in their inbox.
Conditions that update themselves
The trail status your crew sets from the trailhead is what the site shows. Nobody has to remember to update the website after a storm.
QR codes for signs and print
Codes that open a trail, a network or your report page, for a kiosk, a trailhead sign or the back of a printed map.
Closing the loop
Visitors are part of the system, not an audience
The people using your trails see more than anybody on your crew does. The site is where that becomes useful to you.
01
They report what they find
A trail user opens your report page on their own phone, marks where they are, adds a photo and describes it. No account and no install.
02
It waits for somebody on your team
Reports land in a review queue, not in your crew's work list. Approve one and it becomes an ordinary maintenance item; reject it and it is gone. Nothing goes live unreviewed.
03
They can follow you
Somebody who cares about a network gets a push when a condition changes or you post the day's report, rather than checking a page that has not moved since Tuesday.
04
And the day gets written up
A daily report collects the day's condition changes, work and notes into one page your visitors can read, assembled from what already happened rather than typed out again.

How this works, in detail
Step-by-step guides for setting each of these up.
A website your club can keep up to date
The website is included with Pro. Start free with the rest of TrailsIQ, and turn the website on when you move to Pro.
