Overview
About this theme
Polaris is a website theme for tour operators, homestays, lodges and camps. It’s built around the questions travellers ask first: where, when, how hard, and where they will sleep. It answers them with trail grades, season charts, an altitude profile for every itinerary, and stay pages that say plainly how you arrive, what the power is like and where the phone works. The design reads like a field atlas: coordinates, contour lines and a ridge-line edge, in calm alpine colours.
Who it’s for
Small-group and adventure tour operators, trekking companies, local operators in one region, homestays, guesthouses, mountain lodges and campsites. It’s also a strong starting point for agencies that build sites for travel businesses.
Built for enquiries
Every trip and stay page has a booking box: pick a departure and a package, or dates and a room, and press Request. The enquiry form opens with all of it filled in, and the request reaches you by WhatsApp, email, Web3Forms or Formspree. There are no payment fees and nothing to install on a server.
What’s inside
Three home pages: a tour operator, a stays and camps business, and a local operator in one region. Trips, Stays, Camping, Destinations and Journal list pages with filters, plus About, How it works, FAQ, Contact, Enquire, Privacy, Terms and Cancellation pages and a friendly 404. Each destination, trip, stay and journal post gets its own page.
Pages from blocks
31 blocks in 68 variants: search heroes, trip and stay finders, season tables, itineraries with an altitude profile, price tiers, departures, rooms, amenities, galleries, maps that load only on tap, at-a-glance facts, road and permit notes, reviews, hosts, FAQs and more. Copy a block from the live block library, paste it into a page and change the words.
Fast, accessible and found
Polaris loads one 35 KB font file and almost no JavaScript, and serves photos as WebP at the right size for each screen. It meets WCAG AA colour contrast in light and dark mode, and adds structured data for your business, trips with their departures, stays, destinations, journal posts, FAQs and breadcrumbs. Site search is built in and loads only when someone opens it.
Set up in minutes
Download the theme, run npm install and npm run dev. Put your details and enquiry method in src/site.config.ts, edit the sample trips, stays and destinations, add your photos, and deploy to Cloudflare, Netlify or Vercel for free.

Polaris Astro Theme FAQ
Who is Polaris for?
Tour operators, trekking and adventure companies, homestays, guesthouses, lodges and campsites, from a single valley to many countries. It works for trips only, stays only, or both.
Can travellers book and pay on the site?
Not in this edition. Travellers send an enquiry with their dates, group and the package or room they chose, and you reply. Many travel businesses work this way: a call, then payment by bank transfer or a link. Online booking and payments are a separate edition.
How do enquiries reach me?
You choose: a WhatsApp chat with the request typed out, the traveller's email app, or Web3Forms or Formspree, which email it to you. The booking box on every trip and stay page carries the chosen date, travellers and package or room into the form.
Can I show departure dates and seats left?
Yes. Each trip lists its departures with the seats left, a status (open, few left, full or on request) and an optional special price. Past dates drop off by themselves when you rebuild.
Does it suit homestays and camps, not just tours?
Yes. Stays have rooms with prices, amenities, house rules, the road, power and phone signal, the host and a map. There is a stays and camps home page, a camping page and a stay finder.
How do I build pages?
Every page is a list of blocks in a plain text file. Open the block library, copy the snippet for the block you want, paste it into a page and change the words. Trips, stays and destinations are plain text files too.
Do I need to code?
No. Your details, trips, stays and posts are edited in plain text files, and the documentation explains every setting step by step. You'll need to run a few commands to install and publish the site.
What does the license cover?
One website, for your own business or for a client, with six months of premium support and future updates included.
