Overview
With a basketball past of my own, I wrote to Polish national-team players, creators of the "Nie Ma Co Gdybać" podcast, offering to build their podcast a website. It turned out they needed someone else - a developer for a new project: Kongres Polskiej Koszykówki.
The Congress is the first edition of a conference on developing the career of a young basketball player. It is organized by Rafał Juć (NBA scout, Denver Nuggets), Tomasz Gielo and Michał Michalak. The audience: players, parents, coaches and sport directors.
What I built
The first version was up in 5 days, and the whole thing runs on free infrastructure:
- The event site - with newsletter capture and conversion tracking.
- Online ticket sales - after payment, a QR-coded ticket lands in your inbox automatically.
- The gate - tickets scanned with a phone at the door, attendance visible live.
The outcome
The site converted at around 13% from visit to ticket purchase. Due to complications with the formal structures, the in-house sales system could not be launched for this edition. Tickets were handled by an external platform - and the payment system and the gate wait ready for future editions of the Congress and other events.
We needed a website and a ticketing system to promote the conference we created, and we had about 2.5 months from the idea to the event date. Daily communication was very smooth - we built the entire vision of the project over two calls and follow-up WhatsApp messages. The project was delivered within that short window: a smoothly working site that looked just the way we imagined it, plus a ticketing system standing ready for our next moves. A great collaboration - the results translated into positive feedback from the basketball community, and the system is clean and clear even for a layman.
