About
Tuckel.com is a website / platform designed to share itineraries and activity plans.
The website was designed for travel itineraries and "things to do" guides only. It was also built with travel vloggers, bloggers, social group organisers and travel lovers in mind.
Think of it as the "wikipedia of travel itineraries (and things to do)" - due to how collaborative and community driven it is.
== The website has some unique features, including: ==
- The ability to duplicate and then re-write someone else's itinerary (or activity plan), make minor changes and then "re-"publish the modified version (instead of writing from the ground up)
- or: copy an activity plan (and it's sub-items: photos) into your itinerary (saving time writing this activity and it's steps).
- Full credit to (including back-links) to itinerary authors (even when their itinerary / activity is duplicated and edited by another author.)
- 3 "levels" of content: Itineraries > Activity plans > photographs (aka: "steps"), allowing people to dive into an activity and get heaps of detail about it.
- "Highlights view" which removes uninteresting driving breaks and/or logistical information (so people can quickly see if they want to do the activity or itinerary)
- We support the promotion of itineraries and activities via paid promotion and organic posts
- This is important for travel vloggers and bloggers that want to build a following online
- modular, "lego like" content pieces (activity and photograph components, aka "nodes") that can be re-used on other itineraries and activities without the need to re-write the content or manage duplicates (great for rapidly building variant, 1-day, 2-day, 3-day itineraries that share many stops/activities)
- A community of contributors that are focused on travel and great experiences!
== Why build it? ==
Most websites are technically limited to: title, body and a few other fields and this is incredibly limiting. However, as a traveller, being able to dive into a page just on the details of an activity (within a larger itinerary) is incredibly useful.
As mentioned before: our website platform allows for modular re-use of content-pieces ("nodes") to save time and rapidly build out complex - hence the comparison: "wikipedia of travel itineraries".
These features help make a great experience for contributors and for readers - instead of trying to "fight" the website when editing.
== Travel vloggers and bloggers: ==
Most people searching Google and Youtube are looking for tips and inspiration for their upcoming trip.
A good itinerary will be viewed at least twice: once for inspiration and a second time when acctually completing the activity (if not shared with a travellers friend also). This allows bloggers and vloggers to have double (or more impact) on their followers and also provide their followers with a useful itinerary that deepens the online/follower relationship.
