Karate website design for dojos that teach the real thing. We build karate websites for the parent who will choose your school, putting your sensei, your classes by age and a free trial class on the first screen.
The Powerhouse, Shotokan karate, Vancouver, BC
Parents don't shop for a style. They shop for a teacher.
Most karate students start because someone signed them up. The person reading your website is a parent who wants a calmer, more confident kid, or an adult who wore a white belt at nine and wants to finish. Kata names and lineage matter to you. On a dojo website they come after the instructor, the schedule and the free class.
Seven things every dojo website we build has, and why each one is there.
Parents choose a teacher before they choose a style. Put the head instructor, with rank and years teaching, where the visitor lands. Northside Karate leads with Grand Master D.E. Chambers and his three decades in North Houston.
Little kids, school-age kids, teens and adults are four different conversations. Wiseman's runs kids karate from 5 to 12 and adults from 14. The Powerhouse opens on one question, who's training, with paths for 4 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 and up.
Wiseman's and Martial Arts America put a free session offer near the top of the page with a short form: name, email, phone and program. The parent picks the program, and the dojo calls back with the right class time.
Style, lineage and kanji build trust when they are explained. The Powerhouse uses brushed kanji, its student creed and Ramin Emami's years at the Japan Karate Association headquarters, then tells a parent what that means for their kid: respect, focus and a clear road to black belt.
Belt tests, tournament weekends and black belt photos show a parent where the road goes. Martial Arts America sells the tournament floor under a 33-time world champion, and Northside lets its rank tests do the selling.
Many dojos earn as much from after-school pickup, camps and birthday parties as from classes. Each gets a page and an offer of its own, so the parent searching for after-school care lands in the right place.
Parents check whether you are on the way home and what other parents say. Hours, the address and reviews sit near the booking button, and every form goes straight to lead follow-up.
Traditional and sport karate schools in the US and Canada, what we built for each one, and why it works.
Vancouver, BC
A Shotokan dojo on Ash Street since 1992, so the site leans into the tradition: red and black, brushed kanji and a "Respect all. Fear none." headline. The home page asks who is training and sends each age group down its own path. The student creed and Ramin Emami's years at the JKA headquarters carry the story.
Houston, TX
Navy, red and white, the school's own colors, with a "Make it happen" headline over students in sparring gear. Kids, teens and adults, after-school pickup and parties each get a page. Rank tests and tournament weekends show parents a school that goes somewhere.
Mount Pearl, NL · 12 to 90 students
Karate for kids 5 to 12 and adults 14 and up, plus adult kickboxing, each on its own page with a free session offer and a short form. Jason Wiseman rebuilt his school from 12 students after COVID to 90, above where he was before the pandemic.

Galveston Island, TX
Traditional and sport karate under a 7th-degree black belt and 33-time world champion. The site sells both sides of the school: the discipline of traditional karate for kids and adults, and the tournament floor for the students who want to compete.
Counts from the case studies of schools on this page. The website is one part of it: each school ran with ads and fast follow-up, and every one started with a free month.

The instructor with rank and years teaching, classes by age, a free class offer, a short booking form, reviews, the address and hours, and pages for after-school, camps or parties if you run them. Style and lineage belong there too, explained in plain words.
Yes, and it can stay traditional. The Powerhouse uses kanji and its student creed; Northside Karate uses its colors and its rank tests. Modern means fast on a phone and easy to book, not flashy.
Yes, below the first screen and in plain words. Shorin Ryu, Shotokan or sport karate means a lot to you and little to a new parent. Name it, then say what it means for their kid: respect, focus and a clear belt path.
Show your class times, keep the form to name, phone and program, put reviews near the button and answer every form in seconds. The site earns the booking; fast follow-up earns the show.
