Development Of A Microwebsite For The 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup

Visa Inc. is an American multinational financial services corporation headquartered in Foster City, California, United States. It facilitates electronic funds transfers throughout the world, most commonly through Visa-branded credit cards and debit cards. Visa does not issue cards, extend credit or set rates and fees for consumers; rather, Visa provides financial institutions with Visa-branded payment products that they then use to offer credit, debit, prepaid and cash-access programs to their customers.

With a very tight schedule, Visa reached to us asking for the development of a micro website for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The main goal of this website was to provide information about the tournaments: teams, matches, fixtures, results and history of each team/country.

We worked with Visa on a very tight schedule to accomplish the development of a website for The 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. We worked with Visa’s creative agency to define the best UX and UI, keeping the required simplicity in terms of development time, because of a 4 weeks hard deadline. Our Microsoft Team developed this project, creating a backend tool to manage the dynamic content of the website and creating the front-end as well, utilizing HTML, JQuery, among other technologies. We utilized a webservice served by a 3rd party vendor, who provided real time results and stats about this tournament.
