We hope that you will still recognise the site as we have kept the logo, the colour scheme and the focus on emotions, particularly with regard to organising the stories that have been submitted to the site over the years.
The stories are still the most important focus of the website as your feedback has told us how much you value them. They are now organised in a way that make them easier to find. We still offer a forum in the ‘support’ section and hope that you will contribute with your thoughts in that. We have introduced a new section named “Voices of support” – also in the ‘support’ section – and we aim to develop this part to become another way of offering support to our riprap users.
The riprap website was first launched in 2003, with funding from the New Opportunities Fund under their 'Living with Cancer' initiative. We are very grateful for the subsequent funding from the Department of Health that enabled us to carry out the upgrade of the site as it appears today. We have enjoyed working with Arkom Creative Technology in developing our revised website and hope that you will find it helpful and user-friendly.
