WILMINGTON, NC — The Diamond Group, a full-service digital marketing agency based in Wilmington, NC, announced today that its website design for client Coastal Cypress has been named Best Website for a Builder Company at the 2026 MAX! Awards, presented by the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association and the Cape Fear New Home Sales & Marketing Council.
The award was announced at the 2026 MAX! Awards Gala, held March 25 at Cape Fear Community College's Union Station, where the Coastal Cypress site was selected from 175 entries submitted by 19 companies across more than 44 categories recognizing the region's top marketing and advertising work.
The Diamond Group designed and built the Coastal Cypress website from the ground up on HubSpot CMS, then layered in a targeted SEO and Google PPC strategy to drive qualified buyer traffic to the new site.
Within 10 weeks of launch, the site drove an 81% increase in daily active users, growing from 145 to 263, and established paid search as the highest-converting channel on the site, outperforming organic and direct traffic by 3x.
"This win belongs to Coastal Cypress as much as it does to us," said CEO Theresa Bassett. "They trusted us to build something that reflected the quality of their craftsmanship, and having the industry recognize that work as the best in the region is exactly the kind of outcome we aim for with every client we partner with."
