Remote Cntrl is a creative marketing agency that has been in business for over 10 years, specializing in marketing strategy, brand development, and content creation. With a commitment to delivering innovative solutions, they work with clients to develop strong, cohesive branding while also producing high-quality content that captivates audiences.
The Challenge
Showcasing a Video Portfolio on Squarespace
For Remote Cntrl, showcasing their diverse video portfolio was critical to attracting new clients. However, Squarespace’s default functionality didn’t allow for autoplay video collections or the ability to display videos in a seamless and engaging way. Custom coding was one option, but it required too much time and effort for a business focused on content and strategy rather than web development. They needed a simple solution to present their work in a dynamic format that would immediately grab attention.
The Solution
Beyondspace Lightbox Studio Plugin
Remote Cntrl found the perfect solution in the Beyondspace Lightbox Studio plugin. The plugin allowed them to display an entire collection of videos with autoplay functionality in a smooth and visually appealing way. This feature was exactly what Remote Cntrl needed to create an impressive video portfolio that helped their brand stand out. The result was a streamlined, user-friendly portfolio page that could immediately engage potential clients by showcasing their content in a high-quality, interactive format.
The Transformation
A Professional Video Portfolio with Autoplay
By integrating Beyondspace’s Lightbox Studio plugin, Remote Cntrl achieved a video portfolio that not only looked great but functioned exactly as needed. With autoplay enabled, visitors could view a series of videos without the need for multiple clicks or navigating between pages, resulting in a more seamless and engaging experience. This improved the overall presentation of their work, allowing Remote Cntrl to showcase their capabilities with ease.
“The plugin enabled us to display a collection of videos with the function of autoplay—something essential for presenting our work to potential clients.”
Comparison with Competitors
Exploring Other Solutions
Before choosing Beyondspace’s Lightbox Studio plugin, Remote Cntrl considered alternatives, including custom coding each video page individually. However, this approach would have required significant time and technical expertise that Remote Cntrl couldn’t dedicate to the project. What ultimately set Beyondspace apart was the plugin’s ability to offer exactly what they were looking for, as demonstrated on a reference site that inspired their decision.
“We saw a reference site on the Beyondspace website, and it was exactly what we were looking for—no need to search further.”
Although the plugin didn’t work perfectly from the start, the responsive and helpful customer support team quickly addressed the issues, enabling Remote Cntrl to get the functionality they needed without significant delays.
User Experience and Feedback
Simple Integration with Great Support
Remote Cntrl found the integration of the Lightbox Studio plugin to be fairly straightforward, although it did require some assistance from Beyondspace’s support team to achieve the desired results. Once up and running, the plugin worked perfectly, allowing Remote Cntrl to focus on what they do best—creating great content and developing brand strategies for their clients.
Future Improvements
While Remote Cntrl was satisfied with the plugin’s current functionality, they suggested that future updates could benefit from more plug-and-play features, making the setup process even simpler for users with minimal technical expertise.
“Great customer service assisting with purchases & getting the results I was looking for!”
The Takeaway
An Engaging Video Portfolio Made Simple
For businesses like Remote Cntrl, who rely heavily on presenting visual content to clients, the Beyondspace Lightbox Studio plugin is an ideal solution.
