Oakes Creative House Recognized with Two ADDY Awards

Oakes Creative House was honored with two ADDY Awards Oklahoma City at the American Advertising Awards for standout website design awards. In collaboration with Graybill Codeworks, these award-winning projects highlight a strategic approach to design, user experience, and functionality—proving that thoughtful, user-focused websites create lasting impact.
We’re incredibly proud to share that Oakes Creative House was recognized alongside Graybill Codeworks with two Bronze ADDY Awards at the 60th Annual American Advertising Awards, hosted by AAF Oklahoma. The ADDY Awards are one of the most prestigious competitions in the advertising industry, recognizing creative excellence at the local, district, and national levels. Earning two of them in a single night is something we won’t forget! The awards were presented on Feb. 21, 2026, at the Omni Hotel in Oklahoma City. It was a night that celebrates creative work across our community, and it meant the world to be part of it. Both awards represent two website redesign projects that we had the opportunity to design in collaboration with Graybill Codeworks: Curbside Apparel and RIVERSPORT. Our role was to lead visual design and user experience strategy, while Graybill Codeworks handled development, bringing the designs to life in the browser and ensuring everything functioned as intended.

Every Project Starts With How it Needs to Work

What makes this recognition meaningful to us is not just the award itself, but the effort and passion behind the work. Every project we take on starts with understanding how something needs to function. Not just how it should look, but how people will actually use it.

For Curbside Apparel, a local custom apparel company, that meant creating a shopping experience that feels easy and intuitive from the moment you land on the site. We focused on clean navigation, a clear visual hierarchy, and a layout that lets the products speak for themselves. We wanted customers to move naturally from browsing to purchasing, without friction, while still feeling connected to the brand.

For RIVERSPORT, an Oklahoma City adventure park and Olympic-level training facility, the challenge looked different. There is so much to communicate: programs, events, and daily activities for a wide range of audiences. The website needed to hold all of that in a way that felt clear and approachable. We used structured content sections, strong visual anchors, and an intuitive navigation to help people quickly find what they need without feeling overwhelmed.

In both projects, our main focus was ensuring the design supported the user experience.

Why This One Feels Special

If you’re reading this, you probably already know how much we care about the work we put into the world.

Recognition like this is meaningful, but what matters most to us is creating something that works for the people who use it and continues to support our clients long after launch.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Graybill Codeworks in bringing these projects to life, and for the clients who trusted us with their brands.

We’re really proud of this one, and honored to have been part of it. 🫶

If you’re working on a project and want a team that thinks about design from the inside out, starting with how it needs to work, we’d love to be part of it.
