    The Ripe Media team helped create a website that encompasses everything I asked for. They were very prompt in reaching out and giving guided details about everything happening through the steps/process leading to the completion of the site. Even offering after care for the site if required. It was great working with them to bring my vision to actuality.

    Our website's previous user experience was subpar, leading to high bounce rates and low conversion. The Ripe Media team conducted extensive user testing and completely revamped our site architecture. They simplified our navigation, improved our site search functionality, and optimized our product pages for better conversions. They also implemented a mobile-first design approach, recognizing that a majority of our traffic comes from mobile devices. Our bounce rate has decreased by 35%, and our conversion rate has improved by 20%. The team was thorough in there approach, providing detailed explanations for each change. While the process was somewhat disruptive to our daily operations, the end result has been worth it. I'm not one to get excited about website redesigns but we're really happy with the results

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Ripe Media, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They created a fantastic WordPress website for me, setting up both the front and back end with a user-friendly template that I can now modify with ease. Their service is exceptional, always timely and effective in their communication. I highly recommend Ripe Media to anyone looking to build a professional website with experts who truly know what they're doing. I've already recommended them to a friend who is also experiencing their excellent service.

    Ripe Media has worked on improving our React Native mobile app. We had the skeleton of an app, but they were able to do an end-to-end re-design of each of the main pages. Since then, they`ve successfully implemented around ~20 different features on our mobile app. We share a spec and design, they provide an estimate and occasionally some design options, then when completed create a PR on GitHub. Their code is well-organized, easy to follow, and rarely do we have to go back-and-forth about bugs. They are also excellent communicators - carefully following threads on Slack, effectively communicating design and engineering tradeoffs, and even producing a 10m Loom video walking through a diagram. Their communication is top-notch. They are super easy to work with even though we are on very different time zones. And, I am impressed at the speed and execution of their development.

    The main task was to make a fresh look for an existing website, as well as design a page for a specific online tool we are developing during this project. Key requests were to keep it simple, clean, yet modern and easy-to-utilize. The design included the main page, Our Technology, About Us and Contact Us segments, as well as an interface for the tool itself. Ripe Media was very considerate and friendly, and their attention to detail was impressive too. The workflow as a whole was not tiring or uninteresting, everyone was invested in creating the best outcome possible. We appreciate the way all the materials and ideas were presented to us in the process and all the hard work put into the final result.
