The parent deciding on a Sunday evening picks you.
For Bharatanatyam, keyboard, abacus, drawing, karate and skating classes in Coimbatore. One page carrying the batch timings against school hours, the age each class starts at, and who teaches it — with seat enquiries going to WhatsApp.
FUEiNT is a web and software company in Coimbatore, India, that builds single-page websites for kids’ extra-curricular classes, listing batches, age groups and teachers, with seat enquiries reaching WhatsApp.
April decides the whole year
Enquiries do not arrive evenly. They come in a wave in April and May while school results are out and the summer is being planned, and in a smaller second wave after the half-yearly exams. The parent is comparing three places at once, and the deciding factors are logistical first: does the batch timing survive school hours and tuition, what age does the class start at, is there a Saturday batch, how far is it from home, and can the child try one session before a term is paid for. Teachers lose these parents by making them ring to ask what age a class takes.
Everything a customer checks, in one screen.
Dance, keyboard, abacus, drawing, karate — each with the beginner age, what the first term covers, and how long a single class runs.
Weekday evening batches and weekend ones set out separately, so a parent can see in ten seconds whether it collides with tuition.
Who takes the class, where they learned, how long they have taught. A parent handing over a child for two hours a week is entitled to know.
Whether one is offered, what happens in it, and what the child should bring. The single thing most likely to turn a browsing parent into an admission.
If you enter students for grade examinations or hold an annual performance, that goes on the page. It separates a serious class from a hobby one.
The message arrives naming the class, the batch and the child’s age, so you reply with a yes or a different timing instead of a questionnaire.
What the teacher sends us
- Class list with the beginner age for each
- Batch timetable, weekday and weekend separately
- Teacher names, training and years of teaching
- Photographs of a class actually in progress
- Term dates, and summer camp dates if you run one
- The WhatsApp number parents should reach
Send one WhatsApp with your class list and batch timings. If you only run summer camps, say so — the page is built differently for a two-month season.
Classes, ages, batches and teachers laid out the way a parent compares them, using photographs of your own class rather than stock pictures of other children.
Seat enquiries arrive on WhatsApp with the class and age already named. No dashboard, no login, and nothing to update between terms unless you want to.
Cost depends on how many classes and batches the page carries. Send the timetable on WhatsApp and a quote comes back.
What owners in this trade ask us.
How much does a website for kids’ extra-curricular classes cost?
It scales with the timetable. One dance teacher with three batches is a much smaller page than an activity centre running six subjects across two halls. Send us your class list and batch timings on WhatsApp and we will price the page you actually need.
How do parents reach me?
On WhatsApp, which is where these conversations already happen. The enquiry arrives naming the class, the batch and the child’s age, so your reply is one line rather than five questions. Your phone number stays on the page for parents who would rather call.
Should we put our fees on the page?
Your call, and both work. Publishing the term fee filters out parents who were never going to enrol, which saves you calls. Leaving it off means every enquiry reaches you. We build it either way and we never publish a figure you have not given us.
We only run classes for two months in summer. Is a page worth it?
It is, because summer camp searches are concentrated and fierce. The page carries camp dates prominently in season and quietly says the next dates are being announced out of season, so it is never advertising a camp that finished in June.
We teach in a rented hall, not our own building. Does that matter?
Not to a parent, as long as the address and the timing are clear. What matters far more is the photograph being your class in that hall rather than a stock image, and the directions being good enough that nobody circles the block on the first evening.
Other trades, and the parts underneath.
Your first message is already typed.
Send us the batch timetable you already keep.
A timetable and a class list is all we need to describe the page and price it. Send them on WhatsApp and we will reply with both.
