Goal:

Stand Still Sports approached us with a bold vision: to build a community-driven platform where users could easily create and manage sports tournament brackets. The initial aim was to offer the tournament tool for free (post-registration) to attract a local community, with a future phase dedicated to monetization through paid subscriptions and branded merchandise.

Challenges:

• No existing website or branding
• Unclear initial concept and requirements
• Extremely tight deadline: 1 month to deliver both a Shopify site and a custom app
• Need for a seamless and intuitive bracket management experience

Solution:

We delivered a full-service solution, developing a robust Shopify site alongside a fully integrated custom tournament bracket app, built using React.js, Redux, Remix, and Node.js.

Key App Features:

• Create and join unlimited tournaments
• Share direct tournament invite links with friends
• Track all your active tournaments from a personalized profile dashboard

• Project Manager: Ensured smooth communication between client and development team
• Technical Project Manager: Oversaw technical implementation of the Shopify + app integration
• SysAdmin: Prepared live and staging environments
• Developers: Built the front-end and back-end of the tournament app
• QA Engineer: Conducted rigorous testing
• Managed Services Team: Assisted with copy editing and page setup
