Machine Football AI is a Silicon Valley VC-backed football analytics platform built around 1.1 billion on-pitch events — the most comprehensive network of football data ever assembled
Founded with Graeme Le Saux, one of football's most respected thinkers, combined with the most advanced AI platform in the sport
The platform advances forecasting, player development, and the understanding of teams and sports markets — changing how relationships on the pitch are understood
The site needed to match the ambition and scale of the product: bold, immersive, and unmistakably world-class
The Challenge
Football analytics is a credibility-first industry — the site had to communicate scientific rigour and elite-level expertise without feeling cold or academic
The "obsessive" brand positioning required a hero experience that was genuinely arresting, not just visually busy
Multiple distinct content verticals needed to coexist cleanly — Special Projects, Reports, MF Media, Blog, Glossary — each with its own page architecture
As a Framer designer and Framer developer, designing and building a VC-backed client site meant zero margin for error on performance, responsiveness, or motion quality
Design (Figma)
Dark, cinematic visual language — deep blacks, stadium photography, and bold white typography — positioning Machine Football AI at the level of the elite clubs it serves
Hero built around a single bold statement: "WE ARE OBSESSIVE" — letter-by-letter animated reveal designed to stop the scroll immediately
"1.1 billion on pitch events" used as the defining data point — surfaced in the hero as the anchor of the brand's authority
Colourful data visualisation elements (orange, pink, green geometric shapes) layered over stadium photography to signal the AI intelligence layer underneath the sport
Editorial section structure throughout — Who We Are, Special Projects, MF Media, Reports — each with its own distinct visual treatment while staying within the same design system
Clean, structured navigation with numbered sections (01–06) for a considered, editorial feel
Development (Framer)
Built entirely in Framer as a multi-page site — Home, Special Projects, Reports, MF Media, Blog, Glossary, and Contact
Hero letter-by-letter text animation ("OBSESSIVE") developed as a custom Framer interaction — one of the most technically demanding elements of the build
Full-bleed stadium video and photography hero with scroll-triggered transition into the "Who We Are" section
CMS-powered Blog and MF Media sections — the Machine Football team can publish reports, articles, and media content independently in Framer
CMS-powered Glossary — a unique content feature for the football analytics audience, fully manageable without developer involvement
Special Projects pages built with a rich editorial layout — combining data, photography, and written analysis in a magazine-style structure
Scroll-triggered animations throughout — section entrances, data point reveals, and image sequences all tuned for cinematic pacing
Social integrations (LinkedIn, X) and contact page developed and connected
Fully responsive Framer development across all devices — the dark cinematic aesthetic maintained precisely on mobile
Result
Delivered a Framer website that matches the ambition of a Silicon Valley VC-backed product — bold, credible, and technically exceptional
The "OBSESSIVE" hero animation became the defining moment of the site — immediately communicating the brand's obsessive data depth
The CMS architecture across Blog, MF Media, and Glossary means the platform can scale its content output without any Framer developer dependency
A site that positions Machine Football AI exactly where it belongs — at the frontier of football intelligence
