Ripe Creatives Announces New Features for Creative Portfolios

Clients will be able to customize using fonts, colors and background images.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- Ripe Creatives announces a new feature of their already successful portfolio service. Now, clients with online portfolios through the Ripe Creative Network will be able to customize the look and feel of their portfolios using professional fonts, unlimited color variations and custom background images. Users can still use the default portfolio template that they receive when they sign up for the service, but they can now also add their own personality to their projects and profile.

Marketing Director Rina Milan comments, “The new features really add value for our creatives. We don't believe in up-selling new features – it's just a one-price, one-plan model with no ads and no distractions. We spoke with many employers, agencies and recruiters and we took their feedback to create the 'perfect' portfolio. It is simple, straightforward, and it's what those in hiring positions want to see. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Ripe Creatives has been gaining a steady following throughout the last half of 2009 despite its competitors like Dice, HotJobs, Monster, Krop, Behance, and others. This is primarily because unlike their competition, they do not charge employers to access their talent database. Creative professionals realize the importance of being found by agencies and other creative industry employers as well as online, with Ripe Creatives' search engine optimized portfolios.

“I chose Ripe Creatives because in this economy, I need an edge over other designers in the market. Their portfolios are easy to create, which leaves me more time to build my portfolio, not building some elaborate web presence.” said James Arel, a new client. “I like that my profile stands alone when I send it out, it's not part of some big portal that is going to feature competing portfolios in the same frame.”

The Ripe Creative Network is open to all creative students and professionals.
