We’re honored to share that our website redesign for Fork Union Military Academy has recently received a Silver w3 Award for Website Redesign and a Marcom Award Honorable Mention in Digital Media Website for an Educational Institute! We’re thrilled to know that our creative design and skills have been recognized by other industry leaders.
As a college prep and military school that has been around for more than 100 years, Fork Union Military Academy has a rich history that we wanted to incorporate into the website.
Our first goal was to clean up and rebuild their sitemap so that users could navigate the site with ease. Next, we created a color palette and custom icons for a brand design that was both bold and refined and matched the school’s incredible legacy.
All of this and more led to a brand new website that shows that Fork Union Military Academy is an elite school with a strong foundation. As a result, they now have a website that is drastically faster, SEO-optimized, and attracts more families.

In 2022, our work with Decksouth won two awards: the w3 Gold Award for Website Redesign and the Marcom Gold Award for Digital Media Website for Small Business. We are proud of the work we’ve accomplished on behalf of Decksouth.
Decksouth has built a strong reputation over the years for its high-quality craftsmanship and well-thought-out designs. Not only does Decksouth provide a beautiful outdoor living area, but also delivers excellence and innovation to exceed customer expectations and meet industry standards.
Our website redesign for Decksouth started with research and interviews with team members and clients to build their brand persona and define their target audience. Decksouth wanted their website to look sleek and luxurious, while providing a seamless user experience. We highlighted their projects with large images against a dark theme and big, bold fonts and animations.
The result was a striking website that prioritized their projects but was still lightning fast. With their new look, Decksouth was able to update their print collateral, vehicle wraps, business cards, and signage and continue making waves in the Atlanta market.
Every year, the W3 Awards recognize the best in websites, marketing, video, mobile sites and apps, social media, and podcasts.

Energyhill has once again been recognized for excellence in design for our work with CPF Mortgage. We’re thrilled to receive the Hermes Creative Gold Award for Website Redesign and the NYX Marcom Silver Award for Integrated Marketing and Company Branding.
In 2022, energyhill won nine awards in total, each for different projects across various industries.
CEO Justin Kelly founded CPF Mortgage to provide exceptional home financing services. CPF Mortgage is committed to being a reliable home financing company that people can trust in Florida, Colorado, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Our plan was to provide a brand refresh that solidified their identity and was consistent throughout print and digital content. In addition to creating a new website and detailed social content plan, we crafted targeted marketing campaigns and press releases to announce the new brand launch.
In order to redesign the website, we had to first refresh CPF Mortgage’s visual identity. We began with the company's core values of integrity, trustworthiness, and compassion. Our goal was to remain true to the company while taking their presence to the next level.
We designed a simple, minimalist logo and introduced softer tones of blue and green to elevate their look. Paired with a fiery orange, bold teal, and strong fonts like Effra, this helped the brand stand out among the cookie-cutter appearance of their competitors.
When planning the website and sitemap, it was important to think through how users would navigate a large collection of mortgage-related tools. We wanted to make sure users could easily find what they needed without being bombarded with endless pop-ups. Additionally, thinking about the functionality on mobile devices was integral to our design process.
This isn’t the first time energyhill has been honored with a Hermes Creative Award and NYX Marcom Award. We are so thankful to be recognized among so many talented agencies, businesses, and media groups. We want to thank everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this award home. Your commitment to providing a beautiful product every time is what sets us apart.

In 2022, energyhill won the Marcom Platinum Award in Pro Bono Website Redesign for Legacy Christian Academy. In addition, we’ve also received a Hermes Creative Awards Honorable Mention for Website Redesign.
The annual Marcom Awards celebrate the best in marketing and communication by paying tribute to the dedication, innovation, and charity of those who work in these fields. The Hermes Creative Awards, on the other hand, recognize those who have helped to publicize the digital revolution and its cutting-edge ideas. We’re proud that our project is among the winners selected for this year’s awards.
Legacy Christian Academy (LCA) is a K–12 private Christian school. LCA gives children and teens a safe place to learn, with the goal of helping them grow spiritually.
Our main goal was to improve local SEO and make sure their website worked well on all devices. Their original navigation was cumbersome and confusing, so we started by creating a new sitemap and wireframes for their website. We also added an event calendar on their homepage to help their community stay up-to-date with all their school events.
Our team visited the LCA campus and took drone footage and photos of students and faculty to use throughout the website. It was important to show the culture of the school and how much fun they had while learning. Incorporating doodle iconography and bright colors made the website feel more energetic and lively.
In the end, we were able to provide LCA with a website that was informative, effective in announcing upcoming events and activities, and responsive across all devices. The brand refresh and focus on SEO increased local search traffic and gave them a solid foundation on which to build their visual identity. We also provided post-launch training to ensure that they had everything they needed to continue making updates.
