**Well you have to remember this version has been out for a long time, remember the first time it was released, I sure as hell do. It was a break in the media evolution of web development. They brought forth an erruption of inspiration. You cannot just say “Now that I know how they did it, their work isn’t hard”. You have to remember they did this version many years ago and without Flash MX.
My opinion is that they will break the barrier again to evolve the way you view sites on the internet. No doubt in the world that they will inspire our senses again. I think it is disrespect to say that their years old work is easy and can be done by many. I think you should be proud of them and let them inspire instead of point out their flaws and the things that they do, sure others can mimick or even make better, but they were one of the first and they sure do it well. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to get back stabbed like that from fans that I inspired years back and then they start thinking of me as mediocre.
Just my opinion on the subject, I really don’t care if anyone disagrees. **
Good point and all but “years” old is ridiclous in my opinion. I redo my sites every 2 yrs @ most and that is for my huge! e-commerce sites that have thousands of pages. For a site like that they should be mixing it up every 6 months or so.
Why every 6 months when years later there are very very few sites out there that even compare - still.
Besides… when you are a busy web design company you usually dont have time to udate your site every other month anyway. It’s always the way. Most people take it as a good sign when your too busy to do your own site
most design houses don’t have killer sites of their own. It just takes way too many resources that you could be making money off of, instead of paying them to make your own site.
At their stage of fame, their own site doesn’t get them business, rather the designs of other’s sites gets them the business. Their site is more of an ego based thing, than a business getting device.
Whatever happened to www.gabocorp.com? Anybody remember that site? That was the first flash site I remember being truly amazed by… either that dude is crazy busy with other peoples sites (unlikely), or he took all that money he got from his first few clients and is tripping in Goa right now…
