Why would I let the marketing team have any say in the site I'm working on? It would be completely inappropriate. If any of the sites pages appeared in any search engine I'd probably be fired, possibly be talking with lawyers.... ------- My point here is that not all sites are the same. SPAs don't work for content sites like blogs or a restaurants home page, or whatever. But for internal line of business stuff, they can work well. That's not to say a shitty site isn't a shitty site. It's not ok for any app to take minutes to load

I mean - if your website is selling a million widgets a year, the marketing team are going to pretty involved (especially if you want to keep selling a million widgets a year)... So getting them involved in the spec is probably pretty prudent. And you're right. SPAs don't work for everything, which is exactly the point I was making. I keep seeing websites that don't need to be SPAs and have been built badly. But for the right project they can be great.

  Right. We agree then, there arn't a lot of content sites that would benefit from being an SPA. it'd have to be a multimedia extravaganza really. And since most of the web is mundane content sites, SPAs should be rareish on the public facing internet My point was that a lot of people seem to think everything sending anything over http is the same as the project they're working on. The demographics for every site being the same. the needs and requirements being identical.

    Well yeah. But at no point did I infer that everything over http was the same as the projects I'm working on. I literally started the comment with: "In the 'real world' of my own little bubble, The average SPA is worse than the average MPA seems to come up pretty regularly, particularly in the ecom world." And you're right, we absolutely agree that SPAs aren't needed the majority of the time.
