Double ADDY Win for
Graybill Codeworks
There are some projects that stay with you a little longer, and recently we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with two organizations making a meaningful impact in Oklahoma City!
Last month, two Graybill Codeworks website builds, Curbside Apparel and RIVERSPORT, were recognized with Bronze ADDYs at the American Advertising Awards, hosted by AAF Oklahoma.
Our team was honored to accept the awards at a ceremony held on Feb. 21, 2026, at the Omni Hotel in Oklahoma City.
Both clients brought development projects with very different challenges, but in our opinion, that’s what made them fun to build! Each needed different systems, varying user needs, and multiple kinds of complexity to solve.
We teamed up with Oakes Creative House, who led the design for both projects. Our job was to handle development and make sure each site worked smoothly in real life, not just on a screen.
Every project we take on has meaning, whether it impacts a small group of people or a broader community.
These two projects are particularly meaningful because of how strongly they reflect and serve the Oklahoma City community. Seeing both of them recognized on the same night is something we’re exceptionally proud of, because we know the work that went into getting them there.
Where Performance is Built In
RIVERSPORT was the kind of build where performance definitely matters.
With the 2028 Olympics on the horizon and the venue set to host canoe slalom events, the site isn’t just supporting day-to-day traffic. The site has to handle a wide range of users, from local visitors checking schedules to athletes and event audiences coming in from outside the market.
From a development standpoint, that means building something that can house a lot of information, stay organized, and continue to perform under pressure. Content changes frequently, entry points vary, and the structure has to make sense no matter how someone lands on the site.
That’s exactly what this build delivers. It holds up under complexity, stays responsive, and gives users a clear path, no matter how they navigate the site.
Curbside Apparel needed a different kind of attention to detail.
E-commerce doesn’t leave much room for friction. If something is slow, unclear, or out of place, people drop off. This build needed to feel simple and direct, with product navigation, page speed, and checkout all working together without interruption.
What we delivered is a site that moves the way it should. Clean, fast, fun, and easy to use, without getting in the customer’s way.
Different demands, same expectations. The site has to work the way it should, every time.
We’re Just Getting Started
Projects like these are a reminder of the kind of work we want to keep doing.
Not one-size-fits-all builds, but projects that come with real complexity, real demands, and something to solve. The kind of projects where you have to think through how everything connects and make it all work together in a way that holds up.
That’s where we do our best work!
These two just happened to land on the same stage, but the goal isn’t the recognition. It’s continuing to take on projects that challenge us and push us to build better, more effective systems, every time.
We’re looking forward to what’s next. If you’re building something and want a solid partner on the development side, let’s connect.
