A website for dance schools, live in minutes
Everything anybody wants from you is one grid: what is on, when, and for whom.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A dance school website has one job that every other section on it is subordinate to, and that job is showing the week clearly enough for somebody to find their child's class in ten seconds.
So the timetable goes at the top and is changed from the studio when a term shifts. Clay builds the site from your Google listing, and under the grid go the two things that turn a browser into a student: what a first class costs and what to wear.
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.
The whole page, kept true
Day, time, style, age and level, in one grid a parent can scan. Not a PDF, not a photograph of a whiteboard, and not last term's, which is what most dance school sites are showing right now.
Changed from your phone the day a class moves. A timetable that is wrong once is a timetable nobody trusts again, and then they ring instead.
What to expect, and what to wear
What a trial costs, whether shoes are needed, what to wear, whether parents stay and watch. These are the questions that stop somebody coming and they take four lines to answer.
Exams, shows and festivals belong further down. They matter enormously to the families already with you and not at all to the one deciding whether to try.
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 timetable be a PDF?
No. A PDF is a document somebody has to download and pinch to read on a phone, and it is the single most common fault on a dance school website.
How do I get people to try a class?
Price the first one and say what to wear. The two things that stop somebody coming are not knowing the cost and not knowing whether they will look out of place.
Can people book a class online?
Yes, and it matters most for a trial, where the decision is made and lost in about a minute: how booking works.
