Ripple Design & Marketing has officially won a Netty Award for Best Home & Lifestyle Web Design, recognized for their exceptional work creating the digital presence for Cedar Springs Landscapes. The project, Cedar Springs Landscapes – A Premium Digital Showcase of Luxury Outdoor Living, transforms a traditional landscaping website into an immersive, lifestyle-driven experience. Ripple’s design elevates the brand, combining cinematic visuals, interactive storytelling, and refined usability to showcase the premium quality of Cedar Springs’ work. This win underscores Ripple’s ability to merge creativity and strategy, delivering a website that not only engages visitors but positions Cedar Springs as a leader in the home and lifestyle sector.
Innovation and Differentiation
Ripple Design & Marketing redefined the digital potential of a landscaping website. Traditional sites in the industry typically rely on static imagery and service lists, but Ripple’s approach creates an immersive online experience that mirrors the premium quality of Cedar Springs’ outdoor projects. From the cinematic full-screen carousel to micro-animations, interactive scrolling, and custom loading effects, every element guides visitors naturally through the site while communicating sophistication and craftsmanship. Built on a custom WordPress framework, the site balances high-end visuals with speed, responsiveness, and accessibility. Ripple’s storytelling approach frames each project as a lifestyle transformation rather than a mere service, setting this project apart from competitors and establishing a new standard for digital presentation in the home and lifestyle space.
Measurable Impact and Success
The Cedar Springs website has produced significant measurable outcomes under Ripple’s guidance. Average engagement time per session has increased by over 30%, events per session are up 20%, and project gallery views have nearly doubled. Beyond metrics, the site functions as a persuasive sales tool, helping prospective clients envision the lifestyle transformations Cedar Springs delivers. These improvements underscore Ripple’s effectiveness in combining design, functionality, and strategy. By elevating engagement and brand perception, Ripple has positioned Cedar Springs as a benchmark for digital excellence within the landscaping industry, proving the importance of thoughtful, storytelling-driven web design.
Creative Elements and Execution
Creativity drives every aspect of Ripple’s work with Cedar Springs. The website employs minimalist layouts, bold photography, and curated white space to evoke a gallery-like atmosphere. Subtle micro-animations, parallax scrolling, and interactive hover effects create a dynamic, immersive experience that mirrors the artistry of the physical landscapes. Ripple’s “Audience-First” design ensures each project is presented as a lifestyle story, highlighting process, craftsmanship, and outcomes. Custom call-to-action animations guide visitors seamlessly toward inquiries while maintaining narrative flow. Careful attention to performance ensures that high-impact visuals do not compromise speed or accessibility, resulting in a website that is both visually stunning and functionally robust. This integration of aesthetics, storytelling, and technical execution exemplifies Ripple’s expertise in creating industry-leading web experiences.
Overall Excellence and Industry Advancement

By combining cutting-edge visuals, interactive storytelling, and technical performance, the site elevates user expectations and showcases the brand’s premium identity. Beyond aesthetics, the project demonstrates that even industries traditionally reliant on static or templated websites can benefit from creative digital strategies. Ripple’s approach has driven longer engagement times, increased project inquiries, and strengthened Cedar Springs’ reputation as a leader in both landscape design and digital presentation.
