A studio site that knows today's classes
A yoga and group fitness studio in St. Clair Shores and Harrison Township, moved off a template onto a site of its own.
The old site was a template, with stock trainers and a location that wasn't theirs.
The new site shows the studio as it is: the class catalog, the teacher for each class, the weekly grid, the prices and what each class pack expires in. Booking stays where members already book, inside Arketa, and the site embeds the live calendar and the booking platform's review feed.

The Homepage Lists Today's Classes
Most studio sites print a weekly timetable and leave the reader to find today's column. That works until a class runs every other week or a workshop takes a Saturday.
A block on this homepage renames its own heading to the day you're reading on, and lists that day's classes, marking the ones that meet in Harrison Township. It reads the same schedule that makes the studio's printed monthly calendar, for that exact date, so every-other-week classes and one-off workshops show up on the right day.
What It Does
On the site
- A class catalog and a teacher roster that match who is on the floor
- A weekly schedule grid, with the studio's live booking calendar underneath it
- Events, family sessions and the studio podcast, each with a page of its own
- Class prices stated with what each pack expires in, before anyone reaches a checkout
- Reviews from Google and the booking page, quoted word for word with where each came from, and the booking page's live feed below them
What each tool does
- Find Your Signs works out sun, moon and rising from a birth date, time and town
- Moon Tonight gives the current phase, the moon's sign and the next new and full moons
- Breath Pacer leads box breathing, 4-7-8 and coherent breathing
- All three compute in the browser, so no birth date and no birthplace is sent anywhere
- Each one has its own share card, so posting a link puts real art on the post
