Hero, about and gallery
The three sections you write yourself — headlines, the call-to-action button, body copy and photos.
Three sections on your public website are yours to write: the hero at the top, the about section under it, and the photo gallery. Everything else is either generated from your studio data or a contact block.
All three live on Studio then Website, each in its own card with a checkbox in the header that turns the section on or off.
Hero
The first screen a visitor sees, and the one that decides whether they read any further.
| Field | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | 200 characters | The one line. Placeholder: "Welcome to Our Studio". |
| Subheadline | 500 characters | One supporting sentence. Placeholder: "Building confidence, discipline, and strength". |
| Hero Image | 5 MB | JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF. Used as the background or side image depending on the template — except Minimal, whose hero is type-only and never shows it. |
| CTA Button Text | 100 characters | Defaults to Register Now. |
| CTA Button URL | — | Leave blank and it points at your registration form. |
Writing the headline
The headline is not your studio name — that is already in the header and the page title. Use the line to say what you do and for whom. "Karate for 5–12 year olds in Riverside" outperforms "Welcome to Riverside Martial Arts", because the visitor arrived asking exactly that question.
The subheadline is for the second question — what makes it worth their Tuesday evening.
The CTA button
Leave CTA Button URL empty and the button goes to /{your-slug}/register,
your public registration form. That is almost always right, and it is what the
placeholder tells you it will do.
If you fill it in, it must either start with / (somewhere on Dojo Tiger) or
with http:// or https://. Anything else is rejected when you save. Point it
elsewhere only if you have a real reason — a specific trial-intent link, say —
because every other route into your studio flows through that registration form.
The same button text is reused at the bottom of the Contact section, so keep it generic enough to read well in both places.
About
| Field | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | 200 characters | Defaults to About Us. |
| Body | 5,000 characters | Plain text. Line breaks become paragraphs. |
| About Image | 5 MB | Sits beside or under the text, by template. |
Plain text only — no Markdown, no formatting, no links inside the body. If you paste in headings or bullets they will appear as the literal characters you typed.
The about section is where an instructor bio, a lineage, or a paragraph about your teaching approach goes. Keep it to something a parent will actually read standing in a car park: three or four short paragraphs.
Gallery
Off by default. Tick the checkbox in the Gallery card header to turn it on.
Layout
Three choices, each shown as a small preview:
| Layout | Described as | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | Even tiles | Photos of similar shape. Tidiest. |
| Masonry | Staggered heights | A mix of portrait and landscape shots. |
| Carousel | One at a time | A handful of strong images rather than many. |
Adding photos
Add Image uploads one file at a time. JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 5 MB each, up to 20 images in total. Each thumbnail gets a small x in the corner to remove it.
Photos appear in the order you add them. There are no controls to reorder them and no field for image descriptions, so the order you upload in is the order visitors see, and screen readers get a generic label. If you want a specific first photo, upload it first.
Removing a photo does not delete it until you save
Pressing x only takes the photo out of the form you are looking at. The file is not removed from storage until you Save Draft or Publish — and it is never removed while your live site is still using it.
That is deliberate: it means editing the gallery in the draft can never break the photos on the page visitors are looking at right now. It also means an accidental x is undone by simply reloading the page without saving.
Photos worth using
Real classes, real students, faces you can see. Stock martial-arts photography is instantly recognisable and quietly says the studio is not busy enough to have its own pictures.
Make sure you have permission to use pictures of children before they go on a public page. Nothing in Dojo Tiger checks that for you.
Images in general
Every image upload on this screen — hero, about and gallery — accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF up to 5 MB. There is no cropping, resizing or editing: the file is used as uploaded, so crop it before you upload it. Landscape shots at roughly 1600 pixels wide are a good default for the hero.
Contact
Not really a writing section — three optional override fields for Email, Phone and Address.
Leave any of them blank and the site uses the corresponding value from Studio then General. Fill one in when the public-facing detail differs from your operational one: a general enquiries address instead of the owner's inbox, for example.
Untick the section header and the whole contact block disappears — including its copy of the call-to-action button. The enquiry form at the bottom of the page stays regardless; see SEO and capturing leads.
