What fills itself in
Programs, schedule and contact details come from your studio data — and what deliberately does not appear.
Two sections of your public website write themselves from data you have already entered elsewhere: Programs and Class Schedule. You cannot edit their text on Studio then Website — you edit the underlying records, and the page follows.
That is the point. A schedule you maintain in two places is a schedule that is wrong in one of them.
Programs
Comes from Classes then Programs, under the heading Our Programs.
- Which programs: every program marked active. Inactive programs disappear from the site the moment you deactivate them.
- Order: alphabetical by name. The display order you set on the programs screen is not used here.
- Each card shows: the program name, its age range, and its description.
The age line is built from the program's minimum and maximum age. The description is whatever you typed on the program record — so if it is empty, the card is a name and an age range and nothing else.
Your program descriptions are website copy
Most owners write program descriptions as an internal note and then wonder why the website looks thin. Those descriptions are read by prospects, in public, on the page that is meant to sell your classes. Write them for that audience: what happens in the class, who it suits, what a first session is like.
Class Schedule
Comes from Classes then Schedule, under the heading Class Schedule, as a table.
- Which entries: every active weekly schedule entry.
- Order: by day of the week, then by start time.
- Each row shows: the day, the time, and the program.
It is the recurring weekly pattern, not individual sessions — so it does not show a specific date, and it does not know about a week you happen to be closed. See Your class schedule.
Both sections hide themselves when empty
Each has a checkbox in the Programs & Schedule card. But the toggle is only half of it — a section renders only when both its toggle is on and there is at least one active record to show.
| Toggle | Records | Result |
|---|---|---|
| On | One or more | The section appears. |
| On | None | Nothing appears — no heading, no empty table. |
| Off | Any | Nothing appears. |
So a brand-new studio does not publish a website with an empty schedule table on it, and it does not need to remember to switch anything on later. Add your first schedule entry and the section shows up.
The site's own in-page navigation follows the same rule: a section that is not rendering does not get a nav link.
Contact details
The Contact section falls back to your studio record. Email, phone and address each come from Studio then General unless you have typed an override into the website builder.
Your logo is also taken from your studio settings, not from the website builder, and appears in the site header.
What does not fill itself in
Public events do not appear on your website today
The event form at Classes then Events has a checkbox labelled Public event (visible on website). As the product stands, nothing on the published site renders events — the flag is stored, and the website templates do not read it.
So an open house or a public seminar marked public is still not visible to anyone who is not signed in. Until that changes, announce public events in your hero or about copy, or link to a details page from the hero button.
Also not automatic, and not currently possible from this screen:
- Prices. Program tuition is never shown publicly. If you want prices on the page, write them into your about text yourself.
- Instructors. Staff names and photos are not published anywhere.
- Announcements. They are for signed-in families only; see Announcements.
- Videos. The content library is for enrolled families; see The video library.
After you change a program or the schedule
Website changes made in the builder need a Publish to go live. Changes to the underlying programs and schedule do not — those sections read your live data directly, so deactivating a program or adding a class shows on the public site without touching the website screen at all.
That asymmetry catches people out in the useful direction: you cannot forget to publish your new Thursday class.
