At BearDev, we specialize in transforming football club websites into dynamic, data-driven hubs that engage fans and streamline operations.
Our recent collaboration with Arbroath FC exemplifies how our Statorium sports data project, combined with JoomSport WordPress plugin integration, delivers great value. Here’s a showcase of the features and enhancements we’ve implemented to elevate their online experience.
Fixtures & Results with Smart Filtering
Arbroath FC’s fixtures and results are now presented in a sleek, user-friendly format. Supporters can:
- Filter matches by competition (e.g., Scottish League, cup tournaments).
- View dates, venues, and scores at a glance.
- Navigate seamlessly between upcoming and past matches.
Dynamic Player Presentation
We brought the squad to life with two standout features:
- Player Slider: A visually engaging carousel displayed across multiple pages, showcasing player profiles with photos.
- Detailed Squad Page: Using JoomSport’s shortcode, we built a comprehensive roster page, where players are grouped by position.
Player page: We have created a customised look and feel for the player page. As a bonus of our turnkey implementation service for a club, custom fields were added to highlight player milestones, sponsors, and exclusive content, deepening fan connections with all the details.
Live League Table & Custom Styling
The new “League Standings” page offers more than just rankings. Stats like goals scored, goal difference, and form trends, as well as displaying the next match, were added.
A clean, mobile-responsive design tailored to Arbroath FC’s brand colours and typography. Every JoomSport view — from match reports to player cards — was customized to align with the club’s selected WordPress theme visual identity.
Data Automation: The Game-Changer
The crown jewel of this project? Statorium stats API integration.
- Match stats, player data, and league tables update in real time.
- Homepage “Next Match” and “Last Match” widgets auto-refresh, keeping fans informed without manual input.
This automation saves time, reduces errors, and lets the club focus on what matters—football.
Arbroath FC’s website is now a powerful tool for fan engagement and operational efficiency—all built as a turnkey solution. The club’s team didn’t need technical expertise; we handled everything from setup to styling.
