Webolutions is honored to have earned two Awards of Distinction in the 2026 Communicator Awards. Our redesign of the Fossil Trace Golf Club website took home recognition in the Features – Visual Appeal – Aesthetic category, and our work on the American Highland Cattle Association website earned an award in the General – Associations category.
What Is the Communicator Awards Program?
The Communicator Awards is an international competition that recognizes excellence, effectiveness and innovation in communication work of all kinds. The program is open to entrants of any size, so a small agency project is judged on the same footing as work from a large corporate team.
Entries are scored by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), a judging body made up of industry professionals from companies including PepsiCo, Accenture, NASA/JPL, FedEx, Netflix, Big Spaceship and National Geographic Society. Each entry is scored on a ten-point scale rather than ranked against other entries. An Award of Distinction goes to work that scores between 7 and 8.9, and an Award of Excellence, the program’s top honor, requires a score of 9 or above.

Fossil Trace Golf Club: Award-Winning Website Redesign
Fossil Trace Golf Club is one of the Denver metro area’s most celebrated public golf courses. Located in Golden, Colorado, the course was designed by architect Jim Engh and sits on a site with real geological history, including 68-million-year-old triceratops footprints and remnants of a 19th-century clay mining operation woven into the layout. The course has been named “Best Golf Course in Denver” multiple times and recognized by Golf Digest as a “Must Play.”
We originally designed and launched the Fossil Trace website in 2019. When the course came back to us for a redesign and brand refresh, the goal was to modernize the experience while protecting the SEO equity and visual character the site had built over more than five years.
The redesign included several updates:
- Integration of Fossil Trace’s updated logo and refreshed color palette across the site
- Improved navigation with persistent desktop menus and restructured Play Golf FAQs
- Rebuilt, mobile-responsive rate tables for easier viewing across devices
- Real-time course alerts to keep golfers informed
- Full ADA compliance for the City of Golden-owned property, completed in partnership with Allyant
- New ecommerce functionality for merchandise, gift cards and lessons, integrated with the course’s point-of-sale system
The result is a website that keeps the photography-forward character golfers already recognized while giving Fossil Trace and the City of Golden a more accessible and functional platform to work with.

American Highland Cattle Association: Award-Winning Website Redesign
The American Highland Cattle Association (AHCA) is the only internationally recognized Highland cattle registrar in the United States, serving Highland cattle owners, breeders and enthusiasts nationwide with breed registration, education and community resources.
AHCA’s previous website had become difficult for visitors to navigate and just as difficult for staff to manage. Important tools and resources were hard to locate, and the aging design no longer reflected the association’s standing in the Highland cattle community. We partnered with AHCA to build a modern, member-focused platform from the ground up.
The redesign focused on a few key areas:
- A secure members-only portal for exclusive resources, event information and community content
- Streamlined ecommerce for registrations, renewals and other member transactions
- A simplified content management setup that lets AHCA staff update the site independently
- A mobile-responsive design built around compelling Highland cattle photography
The finished site gives AHCA a platform that matches its authority in the Highland cattle community while making day-to-day management easier for the association’s team.
