Smack Happy Design Named a Winner at the 18th Web Excellence Awards

Smack Happy Design has been named a winner at the 18th Web Excellence Awards. Its entry, Touchstone Climbing, was recognized in the Fitness category for a custom WordPress Multisite platform built to scale across California’s premier 18-location indoor climbing gym network.

“We don’t enter a lot of awards, so when we do, it’s because the work meant something,” said Heather Bauer, Project Manager and WordPress Obsessed Graphic Designer at Smack Happy Design. “Touchstone needed a website that could grow as fast as they do. We built a multisite network where each of their 18 gyms gets its own web presence while brand standards stay locked from a central hub. Custom user roles let local gym managers update their own pages without putting the broader network at risk. A deployable location template means when gym number 19 opens its doors, so does its website. Getting recognized for that kind of structural thinking is exactly the validation that matters to our team.”
