The challenge

A local platform. A global deadline.

The existing site spoke only to a national audience while the federation prepared to welcome the world — and multiple high-stakes stakeholders had to align behind one direction before the redesign could move a single pixel.

02

The approach

Evidence before pixels — benchmark, personas, then one concept.

We studied leading international federations, built personas spanning local fans, international followers, media and officials, and — working alongside Microsoft Qatar — distilled the research into a concept that won genuine enthusiasm across the table.

03

The outcome

One concept, carried all the way to launch.

The revamped QBF website: elevated beyond its national audience, ready to represent Qatari basketball on the road to FIBA World Cup 2027.
