The whole site is a game
Shot clock, home and away score, quarters for the process, scouting reports for packages and a scorer's table for the form. The theme does the explaining.

Courtside Connections
A basketball recruiting brand whose whole site plays like a game broadcast.
This is the live site. Scroll and click inside it, or switch to the phone view.
The briefWhat they needed
Courtside Connections helps high school and college basketball players get recruited through honest evaluations and real coach relationships, not mass emails.
They needed a site that felt as serious as the athletes they work with, explained four packages without overwhelming families, and turned visitors into free player profiles. The owner also needed to update the team and testimonials without calling a developer.
The buildWhat I built
- Scoreboard-style homepage with a running shot clock
- Recruiting process told as four quarters
- Package comparison: free tier, Pro, Elite, Collegiate and add-ons
- Intake form with separate paths for parents and athletes
- Fullscreen background video served from cloud storage
- Private admin panel for team members and testimonials
- Server-side proxy so admin keys never reach the browser
- Coverage of every level, from NCAA D1 to JUCO and NAIA
DetailsWorth noticing
Two front doors
Parents and athletes start from separate buttons, so each sees the questions that fit them: grad year, position and a film link for athletes.
Owner-run
Team members and testimonials are edited from a private admin panel. Changes go through a secure worker, so nothing sensitive sits in the page.
