rovingpictures Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hello, I've been hoping that one day Squarespace would offer a template with lightbox that's not a boring square gallery grid system for video. Most clients don't want to click into another page, and it's not very visually appealing to only have the option to have the title/description written underneath and not on rollover. Is this still true? Or am I missing a template? Link to comment
rovingpictures Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 For example, the 'Gates' template. Looks great for stills. Why can't it also be a video? Link to comment

rovingpictures Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 This is fantastic. It's direct and shows the videos directly, with the ability to show titles and play full screen: https://www.cpthorne.com/film Link to comment

Looking at templates Gates, Matsuya, Talva, etc these are great layouts for still images. However, you cannot have these as video Lightboxes. Best I can do is hacking away at wexley template, but that even that is limited with the user being unable to show the title. Curious why video portfolios feel sidelined in appearance and usage options, only relegated to rigid grid galleries that take a click or two off the homepage to get to and aren’t very organic looking? Or am I missing something that Squarespace is offering? Link to comment
