Overview

A WordPress website built for the Rugby union club Sale Sharks.

We built a background service in AWS that imports up-to-date fixtures and player statistics from a third-party data source into WordPress to display on the website.

This complex process uses a chain of common AWS services like Lambda, S3 and Simple Queue Service.

Highlights6

Sports data from API

Fixtures and player statistics are imported from the Opta sports data service.

Tabbed player listing

The listing features a tab navigation with animations.

Page builder

Admin users can construct pages with the WordPress Block Editor.

Live match centre

Fans can watch matches live on the website, with real-time updates on the match score and events. This is achieved by polling a custom-built API and dynamically rendering the updated content using Alpine.js.
