Sixteen:Nine Podcasts: David Douglas-Beveridge, SmartContent.TV
September 6, 2017 by Dave Haynes
If you spend any time clicking around the internet, you are very quickly going to bump into a website that is using a slider – a piece of browser functionality that shifts text, images and video in and out of a web page.
The most heavily used slider out there comes from a German company called Themepunch, and that little coding shop has spun off a new company and product called SmartContent.TV.
The company’s digital signage platform is built directly off the Revolution Slider that’s been licensed some 4 million times for WordPress websites – allowing everyone from expert WordPress developers to total newbies to build and launch animated, dynamic digital signage shows for very little money. If you want a sense of what sliders can do, visit the website, it has multiple sliders on the landing page.
SmartContent just came out of beta and is now marketing a solution that runs on $60 Amazon FireSticks and costs about $15 a month to use,.
In this episode, I have a chat with David Douglas-Beveridge, co-founder of SmartContent, to talk about the roots of the product, how it’s used, and where it’s going.
