The Challanges

Num-01

Slow Content Delivery: The previous site struggled to quickly load large volumes of sports photos, video galleries, and articles, leading to a poor user experience and high bounce rates.

Num-02

Difficult Content Management: The existing system was clunky and required technical knowledge to update team news, game schedules, and player profiles, creating a bottleneck for the content team.

Num-03

Poor Performance During Traffic Spikes: The website would slow down or crash during high-traffic periods, such as after major tournaments, failing to serve the community when it mattered most.

Num-04

Inefficient Media Handling: Managing and optimizing a large library of high-resolution images and videos was a manual and time-consuming process, affecting site speed and workflow.

Num-05

Unstructured Content Presentation: There was no consistent way to display different types of content, such as team rosters, event summaries, and news articles, leading to a confusing user experience.

Num-06

Limited Search Engine Visibility: The site's architecture was not optimized for search engines, making it difficult for parents and fans to find news about specific teams or players.

The solution

Num-01

Static Site Generation (SSG): We leveraged a modern framework like Next.js to pre-build the website's pages. This approach ensures lightning-fast load times and a smooth, responsive experience, even with media-heavy content.

Num-02

Headless CMS Integration: We implemented a user-friendly Headless CMS - Strapi , allowing the Kid Sports Media team to easily add, edit, and manage all content without needing any technical expertise.

Num-03

Structured Content Modeling: We designed clear and consistent content models for articles, player profiles, team pages, and event highlights. This ensures a professional look and makes information easy for users to find.

Num-04

Global CDN for Media: All images and videos are automatically optimized and served through a Content Delivery Network (CDN), guaranteeing fast media delivery to users anywhere in the world.

Num-05

Built for SEO Success: The site was built with a strong technical SEO foundation, including clean URLs, structured data for sports events, and fast performance, significantly boosting its visibility in search results.

Num-06

Mobile-First Content Experience: We developed a fully responsive design with a mobile-first approach, ensuring that articles, galleries, and schedules look great and are easy to navigate on any device.
