Kooora is a leading Arabic sports website primarily focused on football. As a designer passionate about enhancing user experience, I took on the challenge of redesigning Kooora to modernize its interface and improve its usability, ensuring it resonates with its audience while delivering a more engaging browsing experience.
Problem Statement
The original design of Kooora had become outdated and lacked the intuitive navigation and visual appeal necessary to compete with modern sports platforms. Key challenges included:
A cluttered interface, overwhelming users with information.
Limited focus on mobile optimization, despite a significant percentage of traffic coming from mobile devices.
Inefficient navigation, making it hard for users to access live scores, news, and team statistics quickly.
Goals
Create a clean, modern design that aligns with contemporary sports platforms.
Improve the mobile experience to cater to Kooora’s on-the-go audience.
Enhance navigation to provide quick access to key sections like live scores, match schedules, and team updates.
Introduce visual hierarchy to better organize content and cut out clutter.
Old design
