Web Design Services

Sage Arts Studio has helped many Martial Arts school owners make the most of their website, bringing unique content and services to their student body. A functional website is the cornerstone of modern schools, becoming both a center for information and a way to gain new sales and prospective students.

Custom Web Design

We can help your business shine. With a dramatic visual impact, clean and efficient layout, and smart navigation, your business will benefit from returning traffic and word of mouth referrals. We will coach you through the process of collecting and organizing content for the site, and explain how each step works. Having a functional, attractive site doesn't have to be a mystery anymore. You will learn to think strategically about your site and the image you present the customer. Further, it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Web Updates & Modifications

We know you're a busy person. Upon completion of a Web design project, you will have the option of having monthly updates. For a small monthly fee, we can update text, add or swap images, create new pages, correct links, and handle minor web administration, up to two hours of work per month. (Two hours will go a long way, since simple things like changing text or images only take a few minutes to do.) Send us an email with a list of things that need to be addressed, and we're on it.

Web Administration

In teh course of setting up your hosting account, we can also set up email accounts, mailing lists, sub-domains, server redirects and other useful utilities on your server. This is a great way to extend the capabilities of your website and your business. Below are a few of the primary applications that we recommend.

Shopping Cart Installation & Customization

With Zen Cart and PayPal integration, your site can now accept credit cards. This is a great way to put surplus stock such as T-shirts and equipment up for sale online. What's more, the application is free. With this application, we can create a shopping cart service that will automatically handle sales of merchandise, registration for events, and payment for services. Once a customer has an account, they will have a permanent shopping cart for future purchases, and you will be able to send out email notices to individual customers, customer groups, recent customers and more.

Blog Installation & Customization

A blog is one of the best ways to drive traffic to your site. Blogs are comprised of regularly updated content and are ideally suited for posting news about your studio. Further, by tying in other promotions, such as sale events at your school, online sales of merchandise and apparel, and special events notices, this type of application can be invaluable to a school owner.

We recommend the b2evolution Blog, which is a free application that is easily installed and configured, and customizable. Once this is installed on your website, you can link to it as though it were another page on your site. Adding content is as simple as logging in to your account and begin typing. If you prefer other applications such as Word Press, Moveable Type or Blogger, we can make this happen as well.

Cafe Press Custom Shop Setup

As many school owners have already discovered, Cafe Press can be a great source of residual income, taking your T-shirt & apparel sales from local to international audiences. Cafe Press will supply you with a storefront for your designs, which you can add to a variety of merchandise. You mark up the amount over their stated base price for each item, and when it sells, you make a commission. Once your shop is set up, you don't have to do anything to make it work except sit back and collect a check, as it will sell your merchandise 24/7 all over the world. We can help you convert existing artwork for sale on Cafe Press, design new artwork for this format, and customize your storefront to match your existing website.
