A website for surf schools, live in minutes
Your customer is on a phone, on a beach, deciding about tomorrow morning.
A surf school sells almost entirely to people who are already in the town, have an afternoon free, and will book whichever school answers three questions fastest.
So the page answers them: what a lesson costs, that the board and wetsuit are included, and when the next one starts. Clay builds it from your Google listing, and the booking is on the same screen, because nobody who is standing on a beach fills in a contact form.
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 everything included said out loud
A group lesson, a private, a course of five mornings. Each with a price and a length, and the plain sentence that the board and the wetsuit come with it, which is the question every beginner asks.
Say what happens if the surf is flat or the weather turns. Somebody booking three days ahead wants to know before they pay, not after.
The other half of the summer
Board hire by the hour, the half day and the week, and what deposit you take. It is a different customer to the lesson and it fills the hours the lessons do not.
Where you actually are, with a map and a note about parking. On a coast with five schools within a mile, the one that made it obvious where to meet is the one that gets there.
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 matters most for a surf school?
Being bookable from a phone on a beach. Almost every customer is already in the town and will book whichever school answered the price and the meeting point fastest.
Should I say what is included?
Yes, in plain words. Whether the board and wetsuit come with the lesson is the question every beginner asks and it takes one sentence to answer.
How should hire be priced?
By the hour, the half day and the week, with the deposit stated. It is a different customer to the lesson and it fills the hours the lessons leave empty.
