It's good. It's all freaking good.

This looks about as generic as any template out there.
Their old site was one of my all time favorites - clean, minimal, smooth and engaging.
This one is more boring than half the templates out there.
Is it just me or is Apple killing web design? So many of the top firms are churning out generic website design. Really, it all looks almost identical.
Is web design dead? Sure looks like it is a race to the most boring site to be compatible with iPads.
A real shame, that old site was true class.
- It's simply a return to fundamentals; web design moved forward to quick and now a standard is being established...ideaist

- I certainly miss the experimental web of days passed...ideaist
- I do too. But I'd say this is a move to generic compatibility, ie a lazy solution.formed
- Their old site wasn't experimental, it was just good.formed

After troll-anusing around for a little bit on that site it occurs to me that it has a very familiar feel to it. Yes, like a template, but maybe that's a little harsh.
It's more like people are using the same techniques, limited in style and imagination since they're convinced they shouldn't use Flash.
Even in the 90s, people would use a simple fallback site instead of something better in Flash.
- Not harsh, the site is boring/bland. Sad when you compare it to their old site.formed

Prefer the old one.. I think they could have done something a little nicer but it does the job. I can't knock spin..

it's nice work, just a bit of sameness from their work to their site... a bit odd. but good.

I much prefer this one. I know it's not revolutionary but it's well made and presents the work really well.

Spin do really great work i can't argue with that but their website...
It's a good example of "keep it simple and let the work do the talking". But a lot of other studios are taking the same approach.

etcIt's all starts looking a bit generic. All these studios are looking the same. There's no diversity or personality behind these sites.
I wish they would grow some balls and try to do something different,
rather than playing it safe.- +1 - so true... Spin have gone from my fav studio site into a sea of blandness.
