EnglishWho Runs the MountainFest Website?
Updated
The MountainFest website at wvmountainfest.com is operated for the event itself, with the site's footer crediting "Guidon Creative" as the design and development partner. In practical terms, that means the copyright and event identity belong to Wild & Wonderful MountainFest, while Guidon Creative handled building or maintaining the site. If you need an official answer about the event, contact MountainFest directly rather than the design studio.
What the site footer tells you
The only ownership signal visible on the page is the footer line:
Copyright 2024 Wild & Wonderful MountainFest - Made with ❤️ by Guidon Creative
That single line carries two separate pieces of information, and it helps to read them apart:
| Element | What it indicates | What it does not indicate |
|---|---|---|
| "Copyright 2024 Wild & Wonderful MountainFest" | The event/organization claims the site content and brand | That a separate company owns the event |
| "Made with ❤️ by Guidon Creative" | A design or development partner built the site | That Guidon Creative runs the event or answers event questions |
Why a "made by" credit is normal
Event websites are frequently built by outside studios, freelancers, or marketing agencies. A credit like this is a standard way for a studio to show its work, and it says nothing about who controls the event's decisions, schedule, or ticketing.
So the presence of "Guidon Creative" is not a sign that the site is unofficial or third-party-run. It is a sign that the event's own site was produced with outside help.
How to confirm you are on the official site
If your goal is to make sure you are dealing with the official MountainFest presence:
- Check the domain. The site is at wvmountainfest.com, matching the event name.
- Look at the footer. The copyright line names Wild & Wonderful MountainFest, the event itself.
- Treat the "made by" credit as a vendor note, not as the event owner.
Where to send questions
- Event questions — dates, lineup, tickets, vendors, accessibility, or press: contact MountainFest through the site's own contact channels.
- Website issues — broken pages, design, or technical problems: these may route to the development partner, but the site itself is the right starting point.
The site's own contact route is the reliable path for anything official, since the footer alone does not publish a direct contact address for either party.
