Rachel Rippy

I am a freelance web developer and designer. I work with studios, agencies, other freelancers, and cultural organizations to develop websites, blogs, microsites, mobile, and CMS.

My passion is problem solving and creating sites that are clean, simple, straight forward, and easy to navigate.

I implement accessible technology with a focus on user experience and function.

Web development for the Aspen Art Museum, a noncollecting contemporary art institution. Ease of use, brand relevance, and a focus on exhibitions were the main objectives for this high volume site. A unique home page Flash animation adds an unexpected twist. Archived video from a local television show adds a unique and personal viewing experience. Web traffic has increased over 200% since the launch.

COLR blog is a visual and audial daily renewal. Each day a new image or audio clip is posted, which is never to be seen of or heard from again, at least not on the blog. The blog was built with Wordpress as a content management system, which enables staff to easily create posts individually.
