🚀 CodeNinjas Website Update: Programs Page Redesign, AI Academy Launch & Navigation Improvements

Hey Code Ninjas Community! 👋

We're excited to announce a significant update to the Code Ninjas website, focused on elevating how our programs are presented, launching AI Academy as a first-class offering, and improving navigation clarity across the board. Here's everything that's live in this release:

✨ New Features & Enhancements

1. New Programs Page — Complete Redesign
The Programs page has been released with a fully refreshed idea to better reflect our current offerings and to improve our brand direction. You can expect a cleaner layout, updated visuals, and improved flow to help prospective families understand the full suite of programs available at their local centers.

We have created a new Programs page on the website, which lists all Core Programs and Additional Programs. We also implemented Program Visibility functionality, allowing franchise owners to manage which programs appear on the Programs page and Programs navigation dropdown directly from the Franchise Dashboard using independent program toggles.
Please refer to the article to understand the functionality: Managing Program Visibility via Franchise Dashboard Toggles: SOP

How to Access? Users can access this page directly from the Programs Nav Menu dropdown by selecting "View All Programs".


2. AI Academy — Now Live as a Standalone Program
AI Academy has officially been launched as its own dedicated program on the website, separate from the general Academies grouping. Families can now discover, learn about, and explore AI Academy independently — just like any other flagship program, directly from the "View All Programs" Page and the "Programs Menu" Dropdown.

3. Programs Navigation Refresh — Simplified Names + Split Academies Dropdown
We've streamlined the Programs Menu navigation to make program names easier to scan and understand at a glance. Additionally, the Academies have been split out so that AI Academy and Robotics Academy are clearly surfaced as distinct options, so users will no more have to go hunting through a combined menu.

4. Deep-Link Scrolling: Academies Sections Now Directly Accessible
When visiting the Programs page or clicking from the Programs Menu Nav, users are now taken directly to the relevant AI Academy or Robotics Academy section on the page. No extra scrolling required. 

5. Site-Wide Copy Update — Replacing Generic STEM Language

We have updated the website content to better highlight the specific skills and programs offered at Code Ninjas, including AI, Robotics, STEM, and Game Building. These changes are aimed at helping parents clearly understand what their children will learn and the unique value Code Ninjas provides compared to other STEM programs. 

6. Bug Fix: Homepage: 'Coming Soon' Page No Longer Flashes on Location Switch

A bug was causing visitors to briefly see a "Coming Soon" page when switching between regions on the homepage. This has been resolved - location switching is now seamless across all regions. 

📌 What This Means for Your Center

  • New families browsing your location will now see a more polished and accurate picture of your program offerings.
  • AI Academy is front and center to make sure your in-center messaging aligns with the updated online positioning.
  • Navigation is sharper: Easier for parents to self-educate before reaching out to your team.

Thanks for your continued partnership — more updates coming soon! 🚀
