About
Built by a team that keeps big directories current
Front Porch Maps builds interactive maps for towns, trails and downtowns that do not have a web team. The work behind it is keeping place data accurate, year after year.
We already keep a big list of places current.
Front Porch Maps comes from a team that builds and maintains large location directories. The same team, under LAKE WASHINGTON GLOBAL LLC, builds and runs PetRehab Network, a national directory of more than 1,300 vetted animal rehabilitation clinics across all 50 states and DC. It is kept current, and it is referenced by national breed clubs and pet-owner communities.
Keeping 1,300+ listings current is the same work we do for a town’s map: checking that each place is real, correcting hours and addresses, fixing broken links, and making the result easy to use. A trail or a Main Street has fewer places, and gets the same care.

Six promises.
Built for small organizations
A trail association with two volunteers and a downtown program with one staffer should get the same quality map as a big city. Our plans start at $1,200 to set up and $900 a year, an amount a director can approve without waiting for a board meeting.
Done for you
You send us a PDF, a list or a link. We do the building, the testing and the setup. You should not have to learn mapping software.
Your data stays yours
Your places live in a spreadsheet you own. Export it any time, including if you leave. The print-ready PDFs we deliver are yours too.
Honest pricing
Prices are on the website: a setup fee once, then yearly care that is included in every plan. Price increases are capped at 5% a year. Add-ons are listed with their prices.
We keep it current
Businesses close, hours change, links break. Every plan includes regular listing checks and refreshes, so the map stays trustworthy.
