Michael Ripley has made the publishing of our web site a breeze. He knows exactly the right questions to ask of his clients, which is such a benefit to those of us with no design or navigation ideas. Visitors have stated that our bilingual web site is very easy to navigate. As we have added special resources and research directories to the site over the last couple years, Michael has been able to incorporate these items eloquently.
We engage Michael quarterly to layout our online journal, Canadian Dance Studies Quarterly/Études canadiennes en danse : publication trimestrielle, which makes up the password-accessible membership area of our site. I liked his design so much that I hired him to layout the cover and label art for the annual CD-Rom version of our journal, in addition to producing the CD-Rom itself.
Michael's simplicity with lines, innate sense of colour and visual flow, and his ability in organizing a web site's navigational components in a user-friendly manner is what drew me to his work and has kept me as a client. He is also terrific to work with - courteous, full of ideas, down to earth; he combines these traits with outstanding professionalism and humour.
Michael Ripley is a natural-born designer who can help anyone bring their ideas to fruition with clarity and elegance.
Sincerely,
Amy Bowring
