Basketball Ireland (B.I.) 
 

Basketball Ireland is the national governing body for the sport on the island of Ireland. Part of FIBA, BI is responsible for the promotion and administration of basketball throughout Ireland and for Irish international participation.

Basketball Ireland required a new website to dovetail with the launch of new branding; all in preparation for hosting the 2021 FIBA European Championships for Small Countries in the National Basketball Arena, Dublin, Ireland.

A modern and fresh design was produced with a layout and UI style that met the presentation goals of the Media & Communicatons team, supported the requirements of the Commercial team as well as the vision of the BI board.

A key technical requirement of this project was integration to competition management platforms (SportLomo, Genius Sports), and the development of a bespoke CMS to manage fast editing, formatting and timed publication of news, press-releases and video content.

In addition to design and development of the website, we provided for porting of content from the legacy systems to the new systems, it's reorganisation,  reformatting and replacement of imagery. We also provisioned suitable hosting infrastructure to support a high traffic projected demand generated by International and local interest in the FIBA European Championships for small countries, which was hosted by BI at the National Basketball Arena, Dublin, Ireland.
