Top-5 UCI WorldTour Team's Corporate Website
We built the official website for XDS-Astana Team: roster & profiles, sponsors, news, race calendar, video, social feed, and team history — delivered in EN/ZH/KZ with a fully responsive, mobile-first UI.
Client & Context
As of Oct 2025, XDS-Astana Team is ranked 4th in the Union Cycliste Internationale WorldTour. The team includes 46 racers from Italy, France, Denmark, and other countries. Its sponsors include companies from around the world, such as XDS, Samruk-Kazyna, X-Lab, and Freedom Broker. XDS-Astana Team needed a single hub for sponsors, sports media, and fans: up-to-date team info, race results and news, sponsor exposure, and fan engagement with media and social channels.

Risks & How We Mitigated Them
Missing the deadline
Mitigation. We fixed a short, weekly milestone rhythm and only moved forward after each milestone was approved.
Decision bottleneck. Design/dev blocks while waiting for feedback
Mitigation. We booked fixed review windows and applied a “silent approval after 48 hours” rule for non-critical items.
Late content. Key pages can’t be finished on time because materials arrive late or incomplete
Mitigation. We set a content tracker with owners and deadlines, and used clearly marked placeholders.
Compliance & Security
Results
A single, multilingual platform now serves fans, media, and sponsors with fast access to roster, news, races, and brand assets. The site delivers a first-class mobile experience, with fast loading and clear reading on small screens.
