# Website, e-commerce and app for a basketball classic

https://www.mecexis.com/en/projects/basquet-manresa/

A website that is easy to manage day to day, with its own shop and the club's entire historical archive one click away.

**Bàsquet Manresa** has been playing basketball for more than 90 years, and its website had to live up to that. Today the club manages it in a few minutes a day, because results and statistics update themselves. It sells directly to its fans from its own online shop, with no middlemen. And it keeps its entire historical archive, with articles from many years ago still available.

## A historic club with a small team

More than 90 years of history and little time to manage the website

**Bàsquet Manresa** was founded in 1931 and is one of the historic clubs of Spanish basketball, with titles such as the Copa del Rey and the Liga ACB. Its fans want results, statistics, news and videos of their team, and they want them straight away.

But the club had little time to manage the website day to day and a tight budget. It sold its products through intermediaries. And over the years, it risked losing the historical archive it had been publishing.

## A website that almost runs itself

Everything the fans need, with minimum effort for the club.

### Easy to manage

The communications team publishes news, videos and photos in a few steps, without depending on anyone.

### Data that updates itself

Results, statistics and fixtures come straight from the competitions, so the website is always up to date with no manual work.

### Its own online shop

The club sells directly to its fans, with no middlemen and full control over its products.

### The entire historical archive

Articles from many years ago are still available and well organised, so the club's memory is not lost.

### On mobile too

The website works just as well on mobile as on desktop. And the club has its own app, which it uses to send notifications to fans.

### Almost no maintenance

Season after season, the website needs hardly any maintenance, and server and management costs are minimal.

## The information changes matchday after matchday

Keeping competitions up to date with no manual work

Every competition generates results, statistics, standings and fixtures that change throughout the season and need constant attention. Entering all of that by hand is slow and repetitive, and keeping the website up to date takes a great deal of effort.

That is why the website receives the data directly from the competitions and publishes it automatically, without anyone having to look it up or enter it. Data entry errors disappear, and fans always see the official information.

The communications team gets that time back for what really adds value: telling the story of what happens on the court.
