Do you have a great new web site idea? Do you need to revamp your current site? Did your “web guy” disappear? We can help with all of these and more.
The Ripe Media team has been involved in web development since 1994. Being immersed in the technology for a full 15 years means we have a keen understanding of where the web has been, where it is, and where it’s going.
In that time we have worked with an wide array of clients at many different levels—from small mom-and-pop jewelry stores to major entertainment corporations like Disney and CBS. What this means to you is that no matter how large or small your project is—we can help you arrive at the perfect solution.
While we do many things very well, we believe our most valuable asset to any client is our ability to take ideas and make them better. You know your business and your audience. In the spirit of true partnership, Ripe can help you see it in a different light and suggest possibilities you might not have considered.
Case Study
Our client’s idea for this project was to create a site for artists from around the world to upload, display, and sell their work. With this basic idea, Ripe initiated an intensive "Discovery" phase in which thorough research and strategy was done to reveal the fundamental structure and requirements for the new site. Ripe collaborated with our client throughout the design and development of the site to create a list of features and functionality that would differentiate their site from the competitors.
Out of our collaboration and brainstorming came the notion that we should build clever promotional tools into the structure of the site that would allow artists, fans, and casual visitors to seamlessly share and promote their favorite works. This culminated in a fantastic widget that any site visitor can use to post collections, favorites, and even their own work to other sites like Facebook and MySpace. The opportunity to expose work to an audience of millions is a major value to all artists on the site.
The project is a prime example of the importance of upfront research and strategy. It’s not enough to make a site look nice and work well—its functionality and design must tether seamlessly with the objectives of the site itself.
The Ripe Difference
When it comes to web site development, Ripe is different from other vendors and freelancers because we effortlessly mesh visual, technical, and business. We understand that a web site is not just a set of pretty pages with widgets and gizmos. It must be strategically linked to core business objectives.
With this holistic approach, Ripe successfully produces work that is of higher quality than smaller firms or single freelancers and much more efficiently than larger companies. Our clients trust us to make recommendations and decisions that are in their best interest because
they know we understand the bigger picture. And of course, we like to
have fun along the way. Any time a new initiative is in the works is a
good reason to celebrate!
