Problem

The Sontag Foundation’s outdated website failed to convey the emotional depth of their mission, limiting their ability to connect with supporters, donors, and researchers. The outdated design and structure made it difficult for visitors to connect with the foundation’s cause and understand the innovative research they were funding.

Our Approach

We partnered with the Sontag Foundation to redesign their website, integrating their personal story with a modern, user-friendly layout that highlights their research initiatives. The new site educates visitors, showcases funded projects, and inspires action through clear navigation and compelling content.

01

Strategy
& Brand identity

We audited the current site and developed a clear picture of the Sontag Foundation's audiences and their goals. This upfront research informed a strategic new site architecture.

The Science of Visual Appeal

We reviewed the websites of comparable organizations and led the Sontag team through an exercise to determine the ideal look and feel of the new web design. From there, we created a moodboard that established a forward-looking approach for the site’s dynamic user interface.

Storytelling with tangible results

We crafted an impactful group of pages that tell the story of the Sontag Foundation’s history and profound impact. This unique content resulted in a richer, more engaging experience, as well as increased the amount of time visitors were spending on the site.

Driving Home Global Impact

The Foundation has grant recipients around the world whose research has been made possible by the funds they’ve received. We showcased the grantees’ stories in an interactive way, thereby demonstrating Sontag’s profound global impact. By creating a highly-customized interactive map, we were able to show both the breadth and depth of the Foundation’s work.

The entire Push10 team did an excellent job helping our organization to create a website that captures our mission and tells our story.
