A website for climbing walls, live in minutes
Everybody has the same three questions and almost no wall answers them above the fold.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A climbing wall is the rare business where a complete beginner and a regular want entirely different pages, and the beginner's questions are the ones that decide whether they come at all.
So the page answers them first: yes you can turn up, here is what a day costs, and here is the session where somebody teaches you. Clay builds it from your Google listing, and the induction is bookable underneath, because that is the actual first purchase.
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.
Can I turn up, and do I need teaching
Bouldering usually needs no training and roped climbing does, and almost nobody outside the sport knows that. One plain paragraph saying which is which is the most useful thing on the page.
Shoe hire, what to wear, whether a friend can belay you and what age children can climb from. Four lines, and a family comes on Saturday.
Passes, courses and the quiet hours
A block of ten, a monthly pass, whether it covers both walls if you have two. And the quiet hours, which are worth publishing because a beginner desperately wants to know when the wall is not full of people who are very good.
Courses, coaching and youth clubs go here. They are what turns a day pass into a membership and they are almost never above the fold, which is right.
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.
What should be at the very top?
Whether somebody can just turn up. It is the first question everybody has, most walls answer it three clicks in, and the ones that answer it immediately get the visit.
Should I publish quiet hours?
Yes, and it is an unusually good idea. A beginner wants to know when the wall is not full of people who are very good, and that is often exactly when you need the footfall.
Can inductions be booked online?
They should be, because the induction is the real first purchase and it is the thing with a limited number of places: how booking works.
