Templeton Prize
The John Templeton Prize is one of the most highly regarded honors in the world, awarded to the individuals brave enough to tackle life’s Big Questions. Over time, this honor had begun to fray at the edges due to an inconsistent award schedule, outdated marketing, and no clear answers to the what and why of the Prize.
Our longtime partners at the John Templeton Foundation turned to us to help them restore the Templeton Prize to its former glory, reintroducing it to the world with a new brand identity and web design to better represent this prestigious award.

National Philanthropic Trust
National Philanthropic Trust is a leader in facilitating philanthropy on a global scale. In particular, NPT is the largest national independent provider of Donor Advised Funds. Despite this strong strategic focus, the organization’s previous web design did not effectively showcase the Trust’s brand, depth of expertise, or global impact.
In addition to a comprehensive redesign of NPT's website, Push10 introduced a brand new feature that highlights this impressive worldwide impact - an interactive grant highlights map.

Penn Law
Graduates of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School are renowned for being the leaders of their field, the kind of distinction that disappears the moment you stop pushing boundaries. When the Law School came to us with the goal of redesigning their website, we understood the challenge and adopted it as our own: How do you design a website that honors their storied legacy but also attracts the next generation of legal professionals?

Virtua Health Foundation
Driven by a desire to do more good, Virtua Health Foundation came to us with a challenge: Modernize the existing VHF website and make it easier for more people in the community to get involved in their mission. We answered that challenge by delivering a site that isn’t just an ode to the organization’s passion, but a functional, effective tool to maximize the Foundation’s impact.
Mothers Milk Bank
Mothers’ Milk Bank Austin, one of the largest nonprofits in the world dedicated to the cause, believes in the power of human donor milk to save fragile babies’ lives. When we first met their team, they were in need of novel ways to solicit more milk donors in their area to support their mission. We started right in on researching. And learning. And thinking. And planning. Ultimately, we delivered a yearlong communications plan and a reimagined website to help them and the babies they serve to grow into the future.

Girls First Fund
Push10 worked with the fund’s marketing working group to develop the organization's logo and brand style. In the logo design, a bird in flight is seamlessly interlaced with the profile of a young girl. The girl looks upward while the wings at her back allude to an open and free future full of possibility. In addition, the interwoven line art execution speaks to the layered & contextual local solutions at the heart of Girls First Fund.

Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security (SGS) is creating a safer and less volatile world. After initially collaborating on the award-winning ‘Nu’, a web design project focused on nuclear disarmament verification, the SGS team at Princeton approached Push10 with a new challenge – to reimagine the program’s website and match their purposeful vision for the future. The rest is history.

Lehigh University Office of International Affairs
While Lehigh University calls Pennsylvania home, their institution is a global powerhouse. For years, their Office of International Affairs provided one of the best international learning programs in the U.S., but struggled to reflect their impressive impact online.
We wanted to help change that. We locked arms with our longtime partners at Lehigh University to design a new website that positioned their school as a choice destination for the best students around the world.

Web Design for Residential Construction Company
"Push 10 Design Studios is creative, and they have good project management skillset as well."

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Please describe your organization.
Ernst Brothers Designers & Builders is a general contractor and real estate development company, focused on both residential and commercial construction projects. We’re located outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
What is your position?
I am one of the partners.
What business challenge were you trying to address with Push10 Design Studios?
We engaged with them to develop a new website.
Please describe the scope of their involvement.
Push10 Design Studios developed our website and continues to offer us basic maintenance and support. I take advantage of this service. They help me upload new content to the site and install updates. They’re also currently working on artwork for one of our vehicles, and they have created print designs for company postcards and other material.
How did you come to work with Push10 Design Studios?
We had worked with a different company for our old website and logo. They were having problems even coming up with a new logo, and we didn’t want to go through that same kind of struggle with them for the entire website, so we started looking for an alternative.
I found Push10 Design Studios through the Internet. I was attracted to the design aesthetic of their company website. Its look-and-feel was something that I wanted for our own page.
Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?
The total development cost was around $15,000 to $17,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in 2012. Our relationship is ongoing.
Could you share any statistics, metrics or other feedback from your work with Push 10 Design Studios?
I couldn’t be happier with the design.
How did Push10 Design Studios perform from a project management standpoint?
Working with numerous other design and creative companies has always been a struggle for me. I’m a controller by nature and would often get frustrated with those companies’ inability to manage projects. I always felt that I was project managing them.
With Push10 Design Studios, the process was completely different. I became the one slowing things down. Push 10 Design Studios is creative, and they have good project management skillset as well.
What distinguishes Push10 Design Studios from other providers?
Their project management abilities set them apart.
Is there anything Push10 Design Studios could have improved or done differently?
I can’t think of anything that they could be doing better.

"[T]hey do good work and we have an established relationship."

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Please describe your organization.
Our company is called Love Beets. We are based in Philadelphia, and specialize in pre-cooked and pre-packaged beets, including beet juice, marinated beets, plain-cooked ones, and so on.
What is your position?
I am the marketing manager of Love Beets.
What business challenge were you trying to address with Push10 Design Studios?
We needed design work for our website.
Please describe the scope of their involvement in greater detail.
We started working with them during an overall rebranding for our company. We worked with a design agency in New York for our logo and labels, but Push10 Design Studios were in charge of our website redesign. They've continued to work on other projects for us over the past two years.
How did you come to work with Push10 Design Studios?
My boss was in charge of selecting them. He narrowed down a few companies in our area, had a few conversations with Push10 Design Studios' owner, and we picked it up from there.
Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?
Push10 Design Studios used our website as a marketing platform for attracting other clients, which lead to a reduced development price. It has worked for them, and they've grown a lot since we worked on that project. It was mutually beneficial.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started our collaboration in April of 2014. We're still working with them.
Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?
Our new website receives a lot of compliments and has been a big part of our redesign and current brand identity. We're proud of it, and consider it a part of our foundation.
How did Push10 Design Studios perform from a project management standpoint?
In terms of designers and web developers, Push10 Design Studios is clearly a skilled and knowledgeable company. We've enjoyed our in-person meetings, as well as communicating with them and running projects via phone and email.
What distinguishes Push10 Design Studios from other providers?
They had a good system for working on the redesign. There was a significant thought process ahead of time which included filling out questionnaires and visual brainstorms. When they showed us the first draft of their design, we weren't disappointed or surprised. There had been a lot of work and collaboration that preceded it, so we were on the same page.
We've continued our collaboration with Push10 Design Studios because they do good work and we have an established relationship. It's been interesting to see their team grow within the last six months.
Is there anything Push10 Design Studios could have improved or done differently?
When we added our e-commerce portion, there were some communication issues. Push10 Design Studios had worked on e-commerce sites before, but this was the first page they had built from scratch. There was a lot of information, either financial or technical, that we needed to provide, which wasn't included in the initial requirements. It was a bit frustrating and it added additional development time which we hadn't planned for. I think they've realized this and wouldn't make the same mistake with another client.
The contractor was highly satisfied with all of the design work provided by Push10 Design Studios. The agency was easy to work with and able to contribute creativity to the project. There were no problems and the contractor recommended their design services to others.
