Problem

Excel Esports have been on a journey to build on its competitive success while growing and nurturing its British and international community. A key part of that, was creating a digital platform that brings the world of esports to life, and communicates their intent, to a specific niche gamer audience.

Solution

Working closely with the team at Excel, we designed and developed an interactive, integrated website that provides a place for the Excel community to find out more about their teams and players, buy merchandise and watch games live onsite.

Results

XL's young community are the harshest critics and very honest too. But just some of the verbatim feedback included:

"Everything is user friendly, really easy to navigate and really slick look!"

"Oh my God.. this looks amazing. I love how… the… screw it… everything is amazing."

"I love it… it's such a cool design."
