STV’s new website earned two top honors at the 2025 SMPS New York Liberty Awards, which recognize outstanding marketing communications in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The website received the Award of Excellence and the People’s Choice Award, voted on by peers and industry professionals.

Launched in June 2024, the redesigned website delivers a more seamless user experience and puts a stronger spotlight on STV’s clients, communities and industry-leading expertise. Its debut came just one year after the rollout of the firm’s Strategic Plan and refreshed brand identity – and the impact was immediate, with a 342% increase in average business day views compared to the previous year.

“Our new website’s intuitive design makes it easier than ever for visitors to see who we are, what we stand for and the impact we make,” said Beth Miller, vice president of communications at STV. “It showcases our people, our expertise and the values that set us apart while offering a clearer view of the markets and clients we proudly serve.”

Developed in partnership with web developer Transfuture, an internal steering committee and key stakeholders across the company, the redesigned site features:

  • An expanded project portfolio
  • Compelling stories highlighting the real-world impact of STV’s work
  • An integrated Insights blog featuring thought leadership from STV experts on industry trends and emerging practices
  • A streamlined, client-focused navigation that improves the user journey for clients, community members and prospective talent

“We took an ‘outside-in’ approach to reimagining the website – defining STV’s markets, services and expertise through our clients’ eyes,” Miller said. “I’m incredibly proud of our entire Communications team, as well as everyone at STV and our partners, who helped bring this vision to life.”

Miller accepted the award alongside colleagues Mark Ginocchio, senior director of content; Justin Grundfast, senior design director; and Aaron Jones, senior director of media (pictured above).
