#coliving #coworking but at a much better rate. I would say it's very 'back to the roots' and all the expenses ever incurred (2.5+ years now) are in the spreadsheet and the daily rate is the reflection of the actual cost.
You can read on their wiki: "Non-for-profit, open budget = 100€ a week contribution."
(and that 100€ - 135$ - includes food and stay)
Been there November 2013, highly recommended. Wish I was able (timewise, employmentwise, familywise) to visit / reside there more often.
I'm not a huge fan of the order that you display your content in either. I think you should get to the message quicker than scrolling. The "Refresh your app design in 31 days" bit is better for a headline, not the first thing that your user sees. Chances are they already saw that bit when they clicked on your site. Show them immediately what you do and why they should choose you.
Just my $0.02
Hiding the content in the hopes that the user will notice that they can scroll down seems like some kind of trendy design thing that I'm seeing a lot of lately.
If I don't have an understanding of what a site is offering, I'm not going to stay on the page for more than a few seconds.
"Don't make me think" seems relevant for this trend.
Every few months my team rents a beach house to spend 2-3 days working offsite. We end up exhausted: you are so relaxed its easy to put in more (productive) hours. 30-45min daily 'beach break' (its a beach front property), taking turns to cook simple meals, nightly fireside vision/brainstorming chats.
Been thinking of setting up something like the coworking mentioned in the article in Panama (5hr flight from NYC). Anyone interested?
The "meet the team" page seems like a constant bg and all the other pages kinda slide over it with some transparency. so there are times when both of them are visible and overlap.
For real feedback, what in terms of work does this get me? Does it get me well thought out wireframes, PSDs, or fully implemented solution? I feel like the latter is half the battle itself.
The idea is taking a current project you're working on and help you with its redesign. You'll get wirefames, PSDs, and we'll help you with implementation.
Please apply if you're interested and we'll give you more information.
SurfOffice to me is an indicator that sometimes the most productive thing to do is to get away and focus on your startup. You don't have to be in SF or NYC.
FiberHouse - Feld's KC Fiber House and Homes for Hackers are other examples of this and there are many more.
One big aspect of starting a startup is runway and with the prices of rent in SF and NYC through the roof getting away to a place that is relatively inexpensive, where other people are also working on projects is a great way to focus and extend runway.
I believe it's important to have that out of the office time, to get your subconscious problem solving with a hike, surf, bike and sunshine. This is a step in the right direction when it comes to the startup lifestyle.
- The third FAQ should probably read: "So I’ve signed up… what’s next?" since all the other questions are formulated from the visitor's POV.
- When scrolling to the very bottom, there is a yellow 1-px-line between the FAQ and "Stay in touch" (FF 29.0.1, Win8)
