An interesting example of an information system in the field of sports statistics and analytics. This is the author's project of one of the current employees of Roksoft. He was created for himself and alone (it took more than 1,250 hours to create the project) to test himself and several hypotheses, simultaneously creating a convenient tool for thousands of people. The site aggregates data from 267 football leagues and provides data for sports forecasting in a convenient way. Created for sports analysts. Currently, the site records more than 600,000 visits per year. The site was donated by the author to a third party and now does not belong to either Roksoft employees or Roksoft company.
One day, a customer called our employee and asked if it was possible to make a simple analytical bot for football matches. The bot needed data, and the programmer discovered that there are specialized APIs that give out a huge amount of data. That's how the idea of the project was born - to collect this data and give it to users as part of a convenient service.
In addition, I wanted to test my strength - is it possible to create such a service alone, having done everything in it, from concept and design to technical implementation. Is it possible to make the service popular without investing a penny in advertising, only through technical SEO? The challenge was accepted.
For development, it was decided to use the classic stack - php, mysql and make a project based on the Webasyst framework. To implement the project, it was necessary to create a separate application for this framework.
Obviously, the launch of the system is not yet a success - no one just went there. Therefore, the stage of technical advancement has come. An SEO specialist with extensive experience helped with this (he also works with Roksoft, and you can contact him through our company). Meta tags, linking have been configured, and a number of technical solutions have been applied to improve indexing. It turned out great. Just look at the screenshot below.
