If It Is hard to type,

What URL Should Contain
Describes Your Content
An obvious URL is a great URL
Keep it Short
And no human likes a URL where the big players are
"?," "&," and "=."
Keywords Never Hurt
If you know that you're going to be targeting a lot of competitive keyword
phrases on your website for search traffic, you'll want every advantage you can
get.
Keywords are certainly one element of that strategy, so take the
list from marketing, map it to the proper pages, and get to work. For
dynamically created pages through a CMS, create the option of including keywords in the URL.

designer….time is money.
How to Choose the Best
WordPress Hosting?
List
of best responsive WordPress fitness
themes These are versatile and highly customizable WordPress themes that
allows you to make your own unique and professional website you have always
wanted.
WordPress is by far the most popular content management system used by 120
million or 24% of the entire websites. It is simple, easy to use and setup and
it’s free to use for commercial or any other purpose.
These
fitness themes is great example on how you can integrate time schedule
management, training programs, contact form, trainer pages and payment system
and customize them via simple web interface.
Most
likely there are hundreds or at least dozens of gyms, fitness centers groups near
your location,
So you
need to stand out. Creating a unique and professional website might play a
crucial role in your business success. Make your website SEO friendly and
Google will do the rest to bring your business in front of the right people
When you set out to teach
people a skill your website has to position you as somebody who is qualified to
teach that particular skill because you have mastered it and can now mentor
others to follow in your footsteps. Use testimonials
To stand out use the best
images: invest in a photoshoot with the best photographer you can afford and
preferably one who has already worked with people in the same field as you.
You don’t need too many, a
banner across the header and a couple of additional images on each page to
dress your copy will be enough. Slide
show in header is very effective.
For this part use images from image libraries
like Dreamstime,
You only need the smaller sizes for web purposes so they tend to be
inexpensive. If you can get them for free make sure they are correctly
attributed so I don’t break any copyright laws.
The header says 90% of what
you want to say:
Place a large banner
consisting of a collage of images of you performing various moves directly
under the name of the business (Title) and the location of the studio
(Subtitle) with a contact number.
Have a service for everyone:
beginner, intermediate and advanced.
Have a navigation menu and
kept it simple as possible so that it would be easy and quick for visitors to
find the information they were looking for.
People want to find: what,
how difficult, where, when and how much. Who and why. Not necessarily in this
order but more often than not this is how it goes.
HOW MANY PAGES?
As a minimum you should have
6 pages on your website:
Home page – your whole
business at a glance and virtual leaflet introducing your stuff to the world.
90% of what you want to say should be here (it can and will be reiterated
elsewhere of course) so if this is the only page that people visit they know
almost everything they need to know about you and your business straight away.
About page – anything about
you, your experience, your achievements and, if you want to come across a bit
more personable you can include something about the things you like or causes
that you support. Imagine you are meeting your potential clients for the first
time: how would you introduce yourself? What style of language would they use?
Mirror that.
Classes/Services page – this
is where you take care of the what, where, when and how much for your classes
and private sessions. You can do all of this on one page to begin with to get
your website live asp so that it can start being found by search engines and
people looking for what you offer.
Tables are awesome for
presenting information in a neat and easy to understand manner. Eventually this
area will evolve and you may find yourself creating a separate page for each
class you teach and the different venues you work at.
Terms and Conditions – this
is where you declare your rules of engagement. Think about reiterating the
payment terms you already specified in the services page but also add the long
explanation for your cancellation rules, expected conduct in class and anything
else your clients should be aware of and respect when they work with you.
Imagine you come across the nightmare client from Hell (you will at some
point): how would your T&C page stand up to their evil scrutiny?
Blog Index listing your many
blog posts – this really is self explanatory!
Boost your blog, grow your
writing muscle and find out what truly connects you with your audience.
Warning! You'll increase your visibility significantly and get fantastic
results -fast!
Contact page – this should
also be self explanatory but you’ll be surprised at how useless or over
complicated some contact pages are. Again, the less is more so if you decide to
use a contact form doesn’t put people off by asking too many questions:
This type of website has to
be all about the clients’ experience of working with you and what’s in it for
them. They won’t necessarily give 2 beans about the impossible things you have
achieved in sports & fitness that make you a superstar and an expert,
Testimonials- How
to Handle Negative Testimonials
They want to know what results they can expect
after working with you.
Now, when it comes to selling
programs you need to treat each one like a mini website within your website:
it’s best to present them in separate pages so that clients aren’t distracted
by too much information when they look at them.
Give each one a distinct look and feel and,
again, choose words and images that paint the picture of the happy outcome your
clients will get when they complete that program. Don’t bother telling them the
how because they typically couldn’t care less.
The hardest part is the
planning and creating. Make your web
designer really happy by giving him/her clear instructions. Want to improve
your blogging?
Look at your competition –
study their website. Use keyword
searches re: your niche.
