A single-page event website for TC Jet Pilots, with the 2026 schedule, camping information, and riding photos, plus an RSVP link to Facebook.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
TC Jet Pilots hosts The Sortie, a jet ski gathering at Hok-Si-La Park on Lake Pepin. We’re standup jet ski fans ourselves, so this was a project with a personal connection. We built a single-page Astro website for the 2026 edition, which the club promoted as its 20th annual Sortie. The site brings the schedule, camping details, photos, and directions together while keeping the RSVP route on the existing Facebook event.
OUR APPROACH
We brought the daily schedule, camping costs, check-in, directions and launch information into a single page with section links. Riders can find practical details on the website, then follow the RSVP link to the club’s existing Facebook event.
We placed event photographs beside the daily schedule and built a gallery with riding and camping images, video clips and a lightbox. The sequence shows the gathering from arrival through the Sunday send-off, alongside the information riders need to attend.

Weekend schedule
Each day has its own section and imagery: arrival and camp setup, the first full day of riding, Saturday’s main event and raffle, and the Sunday send-off. That gives the weekend a sequence instead of presenting it as a list of disconnected activities.

A masonry-style photo gallery opens into a Swiper lightbox with keyboard and touch navigation. Riding and camping photos are accompanied by inline video clips. We used the event’s own imagery throughout the page, including large photographs beside the daily schedule.

The location section brings together directions to Hok-Si-La Park, camping information, and ways to get a ski onto the water. The page also places costs and check-in information alongside the event content so riders can plan the practical parts of attending.
The design uses a deep navy palette, red accents, large display lettering, and wave-shaped section dividers. Those choices carry the Sortie identity through the event information and gallery without making the page depend on a series of separate landing pages.
RSVP buttons link directly to the existing Facebook event, and separate links lead to the TC Jet Pilots group. The website handles the event information while the club keeps its existing places for responses and community activity.
GA4 events cover RSVP and group-link clicks, section views, scroll depth, gallery opens, video plays, and navigation. The Facebook events are recorded as outbound clicks, which keeps them distinct from completed RSVPs, group joins, or attendance.
