SPX... what? What is it called?

SPX... what? What is it called?

GC, SPX-GC, SmartPX Graphics Contoller or just SPX - everything means the same.

The name comes from "SmartPX", the company behind the Graphics Controller. From the launch we have used the abbreviation "SPX-GC" as the name of the app - but you spoke and we listened..,

Let's just call it "SPX" from now on.

Going forward we will use https://spx.graphics as the official URL of the project.

Where can I get templates?

Where can I get templates?

SPX comes with a default Template Pack which colors and fonts can be customized with CSS parameters.

SPX graphics are purpose built HTML files with animations and javascript based functionality and CSS styling.
You can use and customize the default or you can develop your own.

But we, obsiously, would like you to prefer the best source, the SPX Store. Browse for templates, download some free ones and buy some production ready templates with font and color customization options to match your brand and style.

If your needs exceed the capabilities available in the premade templates, we will be happy to supply any custom solution to match your brand guidelines.
