Website Design for Martial Arts Schools

Websites for karate, taekwondo, judo, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and mixed martial arts schools that show a parent which class suits their seven-year-old, tell a nervous adult what the first lesson involves, and let either of them book a trial without ringing.

What a martial arts school's website needs to cover

Enquiries tend to come from one of two people: a parent after an activity that builds a child's confidence and focus, or an adult who has meant to try a class for years and wants to know they won't be thrown in at the deep end. Before either walks onto the mats, they want three things settled: which class to come to, what it costs once the trial is over, and who will be teaching.

  • A timetable sorted by age and belt

    Group the week by who each class is for: little ones, primary-school kids, teens, adult beginners, and advanced or competition squads. Mark the classes a white belt can join. Schools teaching more than one style, such as BJJ alongside Muay Thai, or gi and no-gi, need a filter by style too. Martial arts software such as Clubworx can structure a timetable by age group, belt level or discipline; we link or embed yours where the software allows, or keep the timetable on the page itself and change it whenever you send us a new one.

  • A trial class with no surprises afterwards

    Say exactly what the trial is: one class or a week, free or paid, what to wear, and whether gloves or a gi are lent for it. If students have to buy a uniform or pay a joining fee once they sign up, put that next to the trial offer rather than in a footnote, so a family coming back after the trial already knows what signing up involves.

  • Kids classes explained for parents

    Parents want the age range, class length, how many children there are to each instructor, whether there's contact or sparring at that level, and whether they can watch from the side. Give each kids program a short section describing what a class actually looks like, from warm-up games to pad work and partner drills. Leave out promises about grades or behaviour at school, which no instructor can make for every child.

  • Child-safety checks shown where parents look

    Instructors teaching children need the screening check for their state. Queensland's blue card guidance lists running martial arts classes for children as work that needs a card, and the same applies to operating a business that provides sport or active recreation for children. In NSW, the Office of the Children's Guardian tells parents to check that the coaches they hire have a valid Working with Children Check and to verify it online. A line on each instructor's profile saying their check is current answers the question before it's asked.

  • Instructors, ranks and where they trained

    A profile for each instructor: current rank, years on the mats, who graded them, the association or federation the school belongs to, any coaching accreditation and current first aid. Lineage matters to experienced students moving from another club, and a clear account of it says more than a cabinet of trophies. Use the titles and grades your association actually awards, and only the ones each person holds.

  • Gradings and belts, costs included

    Families budget for gradings, so explain the belt order, roughly how long students train between gradings, what's assessed, and whether grading fees, new belts and competition entries sit outside the membership. A simple chart of the belts in sequence, with the usual time at each, answers the question parents most often ask at the end of the first term.

  • Memberships, vouchers and how to cancel

    Show each membership as it's billed, with any minimum term and the notice needed to stop, and make cancelling as easy to find as joining. Federal Parliament passed a ban on subscription traps in July 2026, and it takes effect on 1 July 2027. NSW's Active and Creative Kids vouchers and Queensland's Play On! Sports Vouchers both list martial arts, and both work through registered providers. If you're registered, say so beside your fees.

Class-based sites we've built

We haven't built a website for a martial arts school yet, and we won't dress another business up as one. The nearest is a Brisbane dance school whose site carries a weekly timetable for students from age 6 and takes enrolments online. A Sydney dispute resolution practice shows the other half of the job: priced packages leading straight into online booking, the way a memberships page can lead into a trial class.

Home page of the Queensland Dance & Performing Arts website

Queensland Dance & Performing Arts

Community, creative & tourism · Thorneside, Brisbane's Bayside

A dance school at Thorneside on Brisbane's Bayside, teaching ballet, contemporary and circus arts from age 6, with adult ballet and a full-time diploma. Its 12 pages give every program a page of its own, beside a weekly class timetable, a filterable photo gallery, FAQs and an online enrolment form. Swap programs for age groups and belt levels, and a dojo's site has the same skeleton.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

A family law dispute resolution practice in Sydney, with nothing to do with martial arts. Its site sets out priced packages linked to online booking, alongside six service pages with FAQs and a five-step intake form. A school can run memberships the same way: the price and terms first, then the button to book a first class.

  • Payment. No deposit. We build your draft first, you ask for as many changes as you like, and you pay once you approve it. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing.
  • GST. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added.
  • Timing. Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks.
  • Hosting. After launch, hosting is $30 a month: hosting, security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. New pages or features are quoted first. No contract, cancel anytime.
  • Domain and email. We register your domain in your name (about $20 a year), connect it to your site and set up your business email.

Questions martial arts schools ask us

Can people book a trial class online?

Yes. If your school software takes trial bookings, the Book a Trial button on every page opens it. If not, a short form asks for the student's name and age, the class they'd like to try, any injuries and a mobile number, and you confirm by text. We can also build booking and payment into the site itself, quoted per job.

Should our membership fees be on the website?

We'd suggest it. Parents comparing schools want to know what a term or a month costs before they visit, and a clear fees page saves your front desk answering the same question all week. Show each option as it's billed, any minimum term, what's included (classes per week, gradings, a uniform) and how to cancel. When fees change, send us the new figures; updating text on a page you already have is part of the $30 monthly hosting.

Can we use photos of kids training?

With their parents' permission, yes. A photo consent question on your enrolment form keeps track of who has agreed, and anyone who hasn't stays out of the gallery. Wide shots where faces aren't the focus, adults rolling or on pads, and instructors demonstrating a technique all work well. Send your best shots from the mats and we'll crop and size them so the pages load quickly on a phone.

Can students buy uniforms and gear through the site?

Yes. Our online stores are $799 for up to 25 products with one payment gateway and basic order management, enough for a range of uniforms, belts and protective gear, or $1,999 for unlimited products, multiple payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. If you only sell at the front desk, a gear page with prices may be all you need.

Which package suits a martial arts school?

A single-style club with one timetable can fit everything on the one-page site at $399. Most schools suit the 3-page site at $899: kids and adult classes get room of their own, and memberships and gradings sit on a separate page. Schools with several styles, a fight team or more than one location are better on the 8-page site at $1,499. A site that size takes 2–3 weeks once we have your words and photos.

Do you build for schools outside Adelaide?

Yes. We're a team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. Send your timetable, fees and a few photos from class, and we'll come back with a quote.

Dance schools, gyms and yoga studios run timetables, trials and memberships much as a dojo does. Our booking websites page sets out the options for taking trial bookings and payments online.

Ready to start your school's website?
