We&#8217;ve never lost our sight on our original goal since our founding, but we believe it was time for us to shed our skin as well as redefine, redesign and remodel the company on our original mission, vision and values. We&#8217;ve also completely redone our website and control panel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re very happy to showcase you the new UpCloud that has been reborn into the international cloud provider company that we already are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our new style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We didn&#8217;t simply want to start off designing a new website that would be easier to use and more functional &#8211; we wanted to start off by defining our visual language. Our new website is now using a completely new design system that we&#8217;ve named Phoenix, which we also intend to open source in the future to allow others to quickly create their own design systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/new-home-6.png\" alt=\"Our new home\" class=\"wp-image-6312\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With creating our new visual language, we wanted to make it more consistent and clearer how we want to communicate, but also how we wish others to perceive us. All of this ties nicely to our mission, vision and values as a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your new tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new design, we&#8217;ve also rebuilt our control panel from the ground up! This means that using the control panel is now much faster, easier and intuitive. Not only have we polished the interface, but we have also rebuilt the underlying technology to enable us to launch new features and products faster in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/new-control-panel-5.png\" alt=\"Your new control panel\" class=\"wp-image-6311\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re thrilled of the path ahead of us, but also very proud of our roots and heritage. We originally set out to build something different, not just another cloud infrastructure provider. All of this still holds true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><video poster=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/the-new-upcloud.png\" muted=\"\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><\/video><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/about\">Never become yet another<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/signup.upcloud.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/Upcloud-cta-2-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"Call to action regarding signing up for UpCloud's free trial.\" class=\"wp-image-10919\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UpCloud UpCloud was founded on the principle of offering developers and businesses around the world superior products, that are designed by an exceptionally talented team [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"4003,820,247,184,70,640","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcements"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6799,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions\/6799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
