Template Monster??

What's going on over there? There templates lately just seem to suck. Certain aspects are good. They have awesome content layout and all that. But certain aspects just blow chunks (The navigations?!).

Am I missing something? Did they suddenly stop producing quality templates?

I dont know about that...

Here are some released today worth a glance:

The last one is the only one that impresses me. The rest are just... Not very interesting.

then the problem isn't on template monster's end because they constantly release quality work, i think it's just that you are too picky and it's only your opinion that causes you to think that way because personally the last one in my opinion wasn't very good but in your opinion it was the only good one so maybe they just aren't realeasing stuff up to your standards because i know many people that would like the rest

I think they produce amazing designs - but most of the cool designs are made in flash - which is a pain cos some people don't know much flash :P

I think you are all basing your opinions on a designers viewpoint, not a visitors/client viewpoint.

You all need to be careful that you design for clients and not for yourselves. Great artisitic graphical masterpieces should be restricted to portfolios, band sites and personal sites. They are wasted on normal business client sites. Did you all know that most of the web is browsed by severely artistically challenged web surfers?

Template Monster has some awesome templates and I don't think the quality has been degrading over time. In fact my opinion of quality differs from all of yours anyway (I think)

I do still like the designs. But it seems that the designers are either running out of ideas or just reusing old, OLD, ones.

If I designed a simular template and posted it in the gallery I think you would have very positive comments which is upsetting as TemplateMonster is getting a bad reputations for templates that remind you of template monster...

I like templatemonster, I think some of the templates are inspiring, Afforable and for the audience they are targetted at I think they serve the intended purpose.

I really dont understand why people see template monster is such a bad light. These templates are not aimed at designers with years and years of experience in the design field.

Good job to templatemonster for setting up such a great website and profitable business.

I still like templatemonster and their designs are inspiring ... but I just think that maybe the designs aren't as good as they used to be.

Their new Flash Intros are worse than the old ones
