Nothing is paid on the website.

Why this design works for a martial arts school

Built for how your customers actually decide

A martial arts school's website is read by an adult deciding whether to walk onto a mat, and by a parent deciding about a child. So on this design every class sits on one timetable with its room, its instructor and its capacity printed, and a visitor books a trial class into a real dated class, up to three weeks ahead. Children's classes and the self-defense courses keep a fixed roster: a family asks for a place, gets one at once if there is room, or joins the waiting list in order, and when a place frees up the next family is offered it by e-mail and has forty-eight hours to hold it.

New York's health club law covers martial arts schools, so the product is shaped by it. Every membership is one month that never renews by itself, every payment stays under the line above which a school must post a bond, the city's sales tax is printed beside every price as its own line, and the three-day right to cancel, the later rights and the refund within ten business days are printed in full. A member can cancel from the website, as the law now requires, and the form answers the same way whatever is typed.

And the school claims only what it can. Belts are its own curriculum, with no federation, association or 'certified' anywhere; no self-defense course promises anybody safety; no class promises a child confidence or better grades; the school arranges no fights and runs no pickup or camp. Nine pages quote what martial arts schools commonly advertise — 'Bully-proof your child!', 'Certified black belt instructors', 'No contracts!' — and answer each with the rule and its source.

  • A waiting list that moves on its own

    Children's classes and courses have a fixed number of places, printed. A family asks once; if a place is free it is offered at once, and if not they are put on the list in order. When a member leaves, the next family is e-mailed the place and has forty-eight hours to hold it, after which it passes on — with nobody at the desk doing anything.

  • The health club law, built in

    New York treats a martial arts school as a health club. So every membership is a single month that never renews by itself, every payment stays under the bond line, the tax sits beside every price, and the three-day right to cancel and the website cancellation channel are part of the product rather than a footnote.

  • Belts that claim nothing they cannot

    Jiu-jitsu, karate and Muay Thai each have a page of grades, all of them the school's own curriculum. No federation is named, no instructor is called certified, no grading fee is charged, and no belt is promised by a date.

  • No child in any picture

    Every picture is an empty dojo, a mat, gloves, wraps or a belt, generated and labelled on the picture as an illustration. Children's classes are shown by small shoes and small folded uniforms. The two pictures with adult hands in them say the person is not real.

Mobile first, not mobile afterthought

Most of your visitors will see this version

Local service searches are overwhelmingly done on phones, so the phone layout is the one we design first and test hardest. Text stays readable without zooming, the phone number stays reachable with a thumb, and nothing needs a horizontal scroll.

Every page, listed

What is actually on the site

61 indexable pages, each with its own title, description, structured data and a place in the sitemap. That is 61 chances to appear in a search instead of one.

Thirteen classes, for every age

  • Early Steps for four to six, children's karate and jiu-jitsu in two age groups, and a teenagers' class
  • Adult beginners, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, karate, fitness kickboxing and women's classes open to anyone
  • Two four-Sunday self-defense courses and private lessons
  • Each page with its timetable, its capacity, its price and tax, and the way to start

One timetable, two rooms, five instructors

  • Forty classes a week on two mats, with the doors' opening hours worked out from them
  • A page per instructor: what they teach, their rank in plain words, their languages and their week
  • No federation, lineage or title claimed for invented people, and a page that says why
  • Belt and stage pages for jiu-jitsu, karate and Muay Thai, as the school's own curriculum

Memberships the way New York has them

  • One month at a time, never renewing by itself, every payment under the bond line
  • New York City sales tax beside every price, and a worked family example
  • The three-day right to cancel, the later rights and the refund rules, printed in full
  • A cancellation form on the website, answering the same way whatever is typed

Children, safety and sparring

  • Two adults on the mat in every children's class, and capacities printed
  • Not child care, said plainly: no pickup, no camps, a parent on the premises for under-sixes
  • Sparring optional, supervised, never under ten; no fights arranged
  • Safety, hygiene, injuries and concussion, what to wear and bring

Nine pages on what a school should not claim

  • 'Bully-proof your child!', 'Certified black belt instructors', 'Learn to defend yourself in any situation', 'No contracts — cancel anytime'
  • '50% off your first month', 'Join our fight team', 'Sign our waiver', 'Five-star reviews'
  • Each is quoted as schools advertise it, and answered with the law and a source
  • A list of eighteen refusals, each linked to the page that gives its reasons

A journal of plain answers

  • What classes cost in Queens, jiu-jitsu or Muay Thai first, your first jiu-jitsu class, what age a child can start, how long to a black belt, and gloves, wraps and shin guards

Included — not an add-on

Trial classes, rosters and waiting lists, and a staff desk

Forty weekly classes in two rooms. Adults' classes are open to members and keep a few trial places; children's classes and the courses keep a fixed roster with a waiting list. The website, the e-mailed links and the staff desk all read the same database, and the counting rules are written once for the page and once for the server, then checked against each other.

What your customers do

  • Book a trial class into a real dated class, choosing only dates that still have a trial place
  • Ask for a place in a children's class or on a course run, and be offered it at once or put on the waiting list in order
  • Get an e-mailed link to hold an offered place for ten days, decline it, or cancel a trial
  • Cancel a membership from the website, with an answer that says nothing about whether the details matched

What your staff control

  • Today's classes, each roster with its trials, offers and waiting list
  • Sign a one-month agreement at the desk, with the prices, the tax and the legal notices printed
  • Process a cancellation with the refund the law and the house rule set, worked out to the cent
  • Take a trial or a place request at the desk, through the same rules as the website
  • Instructors see their own classes; the head instructor sees the school

What happens automatically

  • When a place frees up, the next family on the list is offered it, and an offer not held in forty-eight hours passes on
  • A reminder before a trial and before a month ends, and requests that never became a membership deleted after ninety days
  • Two families reaching for the last place at the same second produce one place and one plain answer — a database lock, proved by racing them
  • No answer ever says whether an e-mail address is already a member

The software runs on your own hosting and belongs to you. There is no monthly licence, no per-booking commission and no third party holding your customer list — which over a few years is usually worth more than the price of the website.

Who this suits

A good fit if you run one of these

  • Schools with waiting lists for children's classes
  • Self-defense courses sold by the run

Questions

About this design

Can members pay online?

Not in this demonstration. Agreements are signed and paid at the desk, and the staff screens record them. Online payment brings in a payment provider and, in New York, the health club law's rules on how a contract is formed — a real conversation, and one we are happy to have.

Why one month at a time?

Because New York's health club law requires a school to post a bond unless every payment under an agreement is $150 or less. A month that never renews by itself keeps the demonstration school under that line. Your own school can sell longer terms; the site and the software adapt to them.

Does it handle a waiting list automatically?

Yes. When a place frees up the next family on the list is offered it by e-mail with a deadline, and an offer that is not taken passes on. Staff can also make or withdraw an offer by hand.

Can we show our federation or lineage?

On your site, yes, if it is true and you can say who awards it. On this demonstration the instructors are invented, so the site names no federation or lineage and explains why.

Are the pictures of a real dojo?

No. Every picture on this demonstration was generated by a computer and says so on the picture. Your own mats and classes, photographed, replace them.

More general questions are answered on the sample websites page.
