Work / Sports Courts
Every court is built for a specific backyard, school or club, and customers struggle to picture it from a swatch card. A 3D court designer lets them size the court, colour it, add their logo, pick hoops and fence it, then send you the finished design as a quote request.
01The Problem
A homeowner browsing at 9pm wants to know whether a half-court fits the backyard, what it looks like in navy with a red key, whether the family name can go at centre court, and what fencing on three sides would add. Gallery photos of past projects answer some of that. A swatch card answers less.
So the vision stays in the customer's head until a sales call translates it into a proposal. That's where the friction is: clarifying questions, misunderstood colours, revised quotes, sometimes a site visit just to agree on scope. And the prospects who aren't ready to call yet, the ones still exploring, bounce off a site that gives them nothing to do.
A court designer gives them something to do. Court dimensions drive the geometry, so line markings and the key reposition correctly as the court is resized. Colours apply per zone, logos project onto the surface, and hoops and fencing appear in place. A customer who has spent fifteen minutes designing their court has already decided they want one, and the quote request that follows carries the whole design.
02Your Options
Court builders generally have three ways to let customers design a court online.
01
Photos of past courts, a colour chart and an enquiry form.
02
A flat, top-down colour picker for standard court layouts.
03
Dimension-driven geometry, procedural line markings and fencing, and logo projection, hand-coded in Three.js and owned by you.

03Integrations
A court designer is a lead-generation tool first. The integrations are about getting the design to your team intact.
Dimensions, zone colours, logo position, hoop and fencing selections plus delivery details, sent to your sales inbox or CRM.
Customers capture their court and save several designs to compare, then come back to them later.
Customers upload a logo or name and place it at preset positions, projected and scaled onto the court surface.
Price by area, line package, hoops and fencing length, shown live or kept internal to pre-price incoming quotes.
A standalone designer linked from your site or embedded in a page, built to run smoothly on the mid-range phones most homeowners will open it on.
04Case Study
Baseline Courts · AU
Baseline Courts builds premium basketball and pickleball courts across Australia, each one custom (dimensions, surface colours, logos, hoops and fencing) on the client's own property. Before the designer, the process was the industry standard: describe what you want, wait for a quote, revise.
We built the designer from scratch in vanilla Three.js. Customers set the court's length and width plus the three-point line and key dimensions, and the surface, markings and edging regenerate in real time. They colour three zones independently, upload a logo and place it in one of six positions, choose between two hoop systems, and toggle fencing on each side with its own distance from the court. Fence posts, panels and corners are generated procedurally to fit.
Designs can be saved and screenshotted, then submitted as a quote request with the full specification attached. The project took two to three months and fell in our Professional tier; most of the time went into procedural fencing, logo projection, and making every element respond correctly to any dimensions a customer enters.
