Denver, Colorado
Web Design & Marketing Agency in Denver, CO
Smack Happy Design is a remote, women-led agency headquartered in the Bay Area, and the Denver metro is home base for one of our designers. Heather Bauer is a WordPress-obsessed graphic designer who moved from Portland, Oregon, to Colorado in 2013 and now works from Highlands Ranch, just south of the city, enjoying the upgrade in sunshine. For small and mighty teams, we design custom WordPress websites, Website Glow-UP™ refreshes, and ADA compliant sites. Once you’re live, we stick around with care plans, managed hosting and security, migrations, website assessments, and repair and recovery when something goes sideways, plus brand identity, logo design, graphic design, and marketing support to keep your channels looking sharp.
Whether you run a wealth management firm in Cherry Creek or a nonprofit in RiNo, you get the same treatment every client gets. Your site is designed around your business instead of a template, and our team keeps showing up long after launch to make sure it runs the way it should.

What We Believe
Good work starts with understanding the actual problem. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and tell you when something will not serve you. Then we build, and we stick around to make sure it holds.
We also happen to have a lot of fun doing it.

A Deep Dive is a full forensic assessment of your site's files, database, and history. You get a straight answer about what's wrong, what's already been dealt with, and what still needs attention, in writing.
Website Assesssment
We evaluate your site's health, determine fit, and identify anything that needs attention. From there, we'll recommend the right path forward.
