What to notice

Summary

This is the English-language landing page for "Viu Bàsquet Manresa," a Django-powered website that promotes the basketball team Bàsquet Manresa (also known as Kids&Us Manresa) alongside tourism in the Manresa and Bages region. The page showcases upcoming game schedules, a curated list of local activities (restaurants, wineries, accommodations, and transport), and articles about regional attractions like the Geopark, Montserrat, and the Baroque Museum of Catalonia. The primary goal is to encourage visitors to attend live basketball games while discovering the local culture and territory.

Target audience

This landing page is primarily built for basketball fans and sports tourists interested in attending live games of the Bàsquet Manresa team. It is also targeted at general tourists and visitors looking to explore the city of Manresa and the Bages region in Catalonia, with a focus on combining sports, gastronomy, heritage, and nature.

Key features

  • Upcoming Basketball Game Listings: A dynamic list of upcoming matches with dates, times, team logos, and direct links to game details.
  • "Basketball Friend" Local Business Directory: A curated list of restaurants, wineries, hotels, and transport services each marked with a "Basketball friend" badge, suggesting partnerships or official recommendations.
  • Discover / Blog Section: Articles highlighting regional tourist attractions, providing inspiration for visitors.
  • Multilingual Support: The site is available in Catalan, Spanish, and English, with a prominent language switcher.
  • "Live the Experience" Call to Action: A dedicated page and prominent button encouraging users to immerse themselves in the match-day experience.
  • Cookie Consent and Analytics: Integration with Google Analytics and CookieYes for compliance and tracking.

Pain points

  • Discovering Local Offerings: Visitors coming for a basketball game may find it hard to quickly find nearby places to eat, sleep, or visit. The site curates these into a single, accessible directory.
  • Navigating a New Region: Tourists unfamiliar with Manresa and Bages may not know what attractions exist. The "Discover" articles help solve this by highlighting key landmarks.
  • Finding In-Game Information: Fans need a quick, centralized way to see the upcoming schedule, opponents, and competition type (League, Eurocup).
  • Combining Sports with Tourism: The site addresses the difficulty of planning a trip that seamlessly combines attending a sporting event with exploring the local area.
