Casestudy: GameFace
Background
GameFace is an online platform that revolutionizes team sports training. It enables teams and individual athletes to upload game practice footage, live game footage, or training videos. The platform uses automated tools to create highlight clips, spark coaching discussions, and improve player performance. It also supports features like live streaming and fundraising integrations.
While the concept was innovative, the original website struggled with generic messaging, uninspiring visuals, and a lack of clear value propositions, which hindered user engagement and signups.
Challenges
1. Generic Messaging: The headline "Unleash Your Potential" lacked specificity and emotional resonance.
2. Unauthentic Imagery: The site used stock images in a collage format that failed to connect with the target audience.
3. Minimal Content: Limited descriptions left users unclear about the platform's full capabilities.
4. Confusing CTAs: Two competing calls-to-action ("Register" and "For Coaches") created unnecessary friction.
5. Missing Social Proof: There were no testimonials or reviews to build trust.
6. Weak Feature Presentation: Features were listed without explaining their benefits or differentiators.
7. Lack of Objection Handling: No FAQ or comparison chart to address potential customer doubts.

Frameworks Used
Using frameworks refined by extensive real-world data, we build pages that guide users seamlessly from curiosity to action—reducing guesswork and costly iterations.
The AIDA framework was chosen for its ability to quickly capture attention, deliver benefit-driven messaging, and guide users seamlessly toward action. Given GameFace's straightforward value proposition—improving performance and efficiency for teams and athletes—this framework aligns perfectly with the audience's needs by emphasizing benefits like performance gains and streamlined workflows.
The AIDA model helps communicate value in a clear and concise way, making it especially effective for users who need to understand how the platform can impact their performance within seconds. While this serves as the first iteration for testing, future A/B testing may explore alternative models such as Before-After-Bridge (BAB), which could emphasize the transition from current frustrations to an ideal solution, or Problem-Agitate-Solution (PAS) to further emphasize user pain points before presenting GameFace as the solution.
