A website for bike shops, live in minutes
Two businesses share your floor and only one of them is on most bike shop websites.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Selling bikes is seasonal, competitive and mostly lost to the internet, and fixing them is none of those things, which is why the workshop diary is the thing worth putting online.
Clay builds the site from your Google listing and leads with the workshop: what a service costs, how long the wait is, and a slot somebody can book. The bikes you actually stock go under it, which is the right way round for the shop rather than for the brochure.
Why Clay
It pulls your info from Google
No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.
A real website, not just links
Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.
Live in minutes, free to start
Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.
Yours to grow
Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
Priced, with an honest wait on it
A basic service, a full service, a gear cable, a wheel true, a puncture while you wait. People search for these by name and by price, and a shop that publishes both wins the booking before the phone rings.
The wait is the part nobody publishes and the part everybody wants. Two weeks in April said out loud is better than two weeks discovered at the counter.
What you have got, not the whole catalogue
Nobody buys a bike off a website page, and that is fine, because the page is not trying to. It is trying to say that you have got that size, that model and that colour in, which is what turns a search into a Saturday visit.
Hire, if you do it, belongs here too, and it is the one thing on the page that genuinely books itself.
What you can switch on
Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
Should the workshop be the top of the page?
Yes. Selling bikes is seasonal and mostly lost to the internet; fixing them is neither, and it is the search you can win: how booking works.
Do I have to publish the wait?
You do not, but it is the thing people most want and least often find. Two weeks said out loud is better than two weeks discovered at the counter, and it filters the walk ins you cannot help.
Can I take hire bookings?
Yes, by the day or the half day, with the deposit rule you already use: how rental booking works.
