Blog on Applicake's ideas, Ruby on Rails and Internet start-ups

Your imagination defines the world around you. Use it.

Office space matters. Period.

That’s where we spend so many hours a day. How on earth could we not care to make it perfect? Some might say it’s just a regular floor in an old building. Well, it’s not. We added comfy chairs, spatial desks, bright colors to create an inspiring vibe. Warm and playful surroundings really do add a lot to Applicake’s creative work culture.

Takeaways? Whatever your space offers you – embrace it, design it and make it your own. In fact, as “your own” as possible. Use your imagination, find a leitmotif, pick out some crazy colors, add some cozy details. Let your creative mind play!

We moved to our new office space a few months ago and we love it! This is how our HQ looks now (also, see more pics here).

Applicake proudly presents our NEW website!

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Dorota Skop

Ok, let’s say it bluntly, it’s high time we had a new website.

That’s what we said a few months ago. Then we spent some time looking for the best way to showcase WHO we are, WHAT we do and HOW we do it and and brainstorming different ideas for the design (see the Flickr set from the design process). But as it was a side project and we were doing many other creative things, it took us way too much time to execute it.

But shortly before New Year’s Eve we made it our top priority and for the last month we implemented a project management model for the task. We set up the team as well as some deadlines and a few days ago - the NEW Applicake website went live!

We will keep changing it and optimizing. So, go to applicake.com now and tell us what you think!

And last BUT not least, big ups to the team:

Socha for great designs, Rodzyn (the Project Manager), Benek, Basia, Jacek and Mateusz for putting the site online and Agata, Mariusz and Ela for support and supervision. It was a great pleasure working with you all!

Our new website is launching next week!

Good grief it’s been a bit quiet in here recently. BUT there’s a very good reason for that: we were working hard on the Applicake new website. It’s a far cry from the old one AND it reflects WAY better awesome stuff we’re doing . There’s a sneak peak below. And the website will be online very soon!
