Welcome to our latest Project Roundup!
While the Geeks always seem to have plenty of irons in the fire, we like to cool off every now and then to reflect on what we’ve accomplished — together and for our clients.
And we had a great time working on these website projects that focus on some pretty big things: free public gardens in Steamboat Springs, using the latest technology to build for the future, and a local government website accessible for all.

Yampa River Botanic Park
Yampa River Botanic Park strives to cultivate a place of serenity that’s free for all. Located at 6,800 feet above sea level in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, the park brings the community together to connect with and learn about the wonders of nature.
The project deets:
- Yampa River Botanic Park’s new website features a fully custom design using our CodeGeek theme. The site design supports the unique, serene character of the organization with the additional goal of making the site easy to use for multiple key audiences.
- The site was built from scratch to be WCAG 2.2 conformant at the time of launch as well as compliant with Colorado’s new web accessibility legislation.
- Additionally, the calendar functionality was coded internally by CodeGeek and is fully accessible, unlike most calendar plugins—helping make Yampa River Botanic Park’s website as accessible as possible for the more than 35,000 people who visit the park each year.
- And the kicker? This project had an extremely fast timeline—three months from start to launch!

Hoskinson Contracting
Hoskinson Contracting aims to improve the lives of those in the communities they serve by building state-of-the-art facilities using the latest technology and innovation.
The project deets:
- The new Hoskinson Contracting website features a fully custom design using our own CodeGeek theme.
- Hoskinson has a unique brand identity that combines clean + techy with innovative construction techniques. So we made sure that the custom design we developed aligns beautifully with who they are.
- Another fun fact (for us) is that this website holds the distinction of being the very first to use our CGv4 theme!

Town of Frisco
Frisco, Colorado, is a mountain town with a reputation for being an ideal basecamp for adventurers of all types. The city’s Town of Frisco website offers information for residents and visitors alike.
The project deets:
- Custom design using our own CodeGeek theme
- Calendar functionality that’s fully accessible
- WCAG 2.2 conformant at the time of launch (built to be compliant with Colorado’s digital accessibility law)
Additionally, Town of Frisco wanted to simplify the navigation, which had grown quite a bit over the years.
- We opted for a simple dropdown menu system that directs users to landing pages for large categories of content.
- The most popular links are grouped together at the top of the homepage, so visitors don’t have to go far to find what they’re looking for.
