Website builder for yoga studios
The timetable, the prices, and a sign-up that stops taking people when the room is full.
A studio's website is a timetable with a building attached. If someone can't see what's on Tuesday at 7 and get into it, the rest of the page is decoration.
Describe the studio and the classes and prices are built as real data, and sign-ups hold the place against the capacity you set — a full class stops accepting rather than overbooking the room.
What they came for
What people want from a yoga studio website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
What's on, and when?
The timetable is the website. Classes are rows with the day, the time, the teacher and the level, so changing next week is editing rows rather than redesigning a page.
Is there space in Tuesday's class?
Sign-ups hold a place against the capacity you set for that class and stop once it's full, so the room is never oversold to somebody who then has to be turned away.
Is it for beginners?
Level, what to bring, whether mats are there — the small facts that decide whether a nervous first-timer books, in their own section near the top.
What does it cost?
Drop-in, a block, a membership. A priced list or a pricing section, stated plainly rather than hidden behind a sign-up.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on yoga studio websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
The timetable is a photograph of a spreadsheet
A timetable as an image is hard to read on a phone and invisible to a search. As rows it is legible, editable and indexable.
No indication of level
Not knowing whether a class suits a beginner is a common reason for not booking one. Marking the level answers it.
Nothing about what to bring
Mats, arrival time and whether to book ahead are small practical facts a first-time visitor needs before turning up.
What gets built
What a yoga studio website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for yoga studios, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a yoga studio with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most yoga studios need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Bookings hold the slot against the capacity you set and stop accepting once it's full, so the site can't promise a time you can't keep.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“A welcoming space for practitioners of all levels.”
Specific
“Beginners' courses every six weeks, plus vinyasa and yin. Mats provided; first class £5.”
A beginners' course and a first-class price say more to a nervous reader than "all levels".
General
“Book your class online.”
Specific
“Sign up for Tuesday 7pm — twelve places, and it usually goes by Sunday.”
Twelve places and a typical filling-up time are facts; "book online" is an instruction.
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for yoga studios
- Can people sign up for a specific class?
- Yes. The sign-up holds a place against the capacity you set for that class, and once it's full it stops accepting rather than taking someone you'd have to turn away. You're told about each sign-up by email and it's kept as a record.
- Can I show a weekly timetable?
- Yes — classes live in a table with the day, time, teacher and level, and the page renders whatever is in it. Changing next week's schedule is editing rows, not redesigning a page.
- Can I sell class passes?
- You can show passes and prices as a priced list or a pricing section. Taking the payment itself happens the way you take it today; the site's job here is to state it clearly and capture the sign-up.
- Can I change the timetable every term?
- Yes. Classes are rows in a table you edit in the dashboard and the page follows, so a new term is an afternoon of edits rather than a rebuild.
- Can I show which teacher is on?
- Yes — the teacher is a column on the class table and a face in the team section, which for a studio is often why somebody picks the seven o'clock over the six.
- Can I keep using my booking software?
- Yes. Paste the scheduling link and the booking section embeds it — Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity and Square are recognised — or use the built-in sign-up, which holds the place and keeps the record.
Where this isn't the right tool
Memberships, class credits, direct debits and automatic waitlists live in studio management software, and if you have one, keep it — the booking section will embed it. Sitemo's own sign-ups hold a place against capacity and keep the record; they don't take the money.
